The backyard is a delight! Even during a cold December weekend in Austin we were able to enjoy being outside in the hot tub and pool. What a treat! Mariah-Rae's place emphasized the great quirk of Austin. Is a true artist's delight. The room is smaller than expected and does not have a kitchen. this isn't a problem if your plan is to eat the amazing food that Austin has to offer. But if you want a space to unwind indoors and maybe cook/prepare a meal or two, this probably isn't the place for you.
