We loved staying in The Catalina Guest House!! It was absolutely beautiful & had so many nice, homey touches from corn hole on the back deck to a coffee maker & waters stocked in the fridge for us. Honestly even nicer than the pictures suggest - super clean, great outdoor deck spaces to hang out & comfortably fit 6 of us (the queen air mattress was great!).
It was about a 15 min drive from Rainey St / downtown so having a car definitely helped but not necessary. I personally liked being a little outside of the action and in more of a residential area as well.
Thank you Allison & Cody for having us! Definitely recommend for anyone visiting Austin!
