Our daughter and her husband sent us to Austin on a "surprise" trip, and booked us into the Spartan Mansion. The Mansion was the PERFECT place for us. We like to experience "differences," and to stay in a restored vintage mobile home was the perfect choice, from the "old style" phonographs to the vintage Boy Scout coffee cups! It was comfortable and so unique!! The location is close enough to all the things to do that we actually walked the 1.7 miles to the downtown Capitol area one evening. The rideshare services in Austin were readily available as well. We got in late, and were very busy during our time there, but I didn't want to leave without at least saying hello to our host, so I asked Sara to stop by before we left. She did, and we spoke for a little bit. Such a nice person. We are so happy we stayed there.
