Sarah's place is a must-stay for Austin trips. The location is perfect; on a quiet street with wonderful architecture, but walking-distance to S. 1st Street and S. Congress - two of my favorite spots in Austin. As others mention, trips downtown are quick and inexpensive, but we found ourselves spending most of the time in nearby South Congress for food and shopping.
The place itself is cute, quaint, and perfectly-sized for our 4-day trip. The king-size bed is very comfortable and welcoming after a long day sight-seeing. The bath is fantastic. You just have to see it! We didnt end up utilizing the outdoor area, but it is as pictured and a wonderful spot to have a coffee and relax.
Sarah is a very hospitable host - she was very accommodating with our early arrival, which we appreciated. If you get the chance, stay here while in Austin!
