We very much enjoyed the Bird's Nest. The decor is just as pictured - very new, stylish and comfortable. The hosts were highly responsive and friendly. They provided an informative listing of restaurants, local attractions, and things to do in Austin. The kitchen was very functional and well stocked with drinks and snacks. The tall windows and 2nd/3rd floor location (above the garage) made the apartment bight and airy. The hose was on a quiet residential street among older homes. The East Austin location was terrific with plenty of local restaurants, art galleries, and a funky vibe. We happened to be there during the East Austin Artist's Studio Tour, an amazing tour with over 300 studios. All-in-all, the Bird's Nest was a wonderful place to stay in Austin.
