Tina was a very welcoming hostess with a beautiful cottage that is identical to what is shown in the pictures. Tina takes her hosting responsibilities seriously and treats the property like a business, and, as any veteran of this site knows, that makes a difference in the quality and cleanliness of the accommodations.
The home is situated close to Zilker Park just south of downtown, but not so far that you feel stranded. We took a cab to Rainey St on Saturday afternoon and it was only $12, so really not a big deal. Better yet, the immediate Lamar/5th/SoFi area is full of restaurants and bars in many ways more fun than downtown proper, so no need to leave.
The cottage itself is cozy, clean, and well-appointed to meet all your needs whether staying in to work at night or hosting a small BBQ with friends. Wifi was exceptional and available throughout the property. Kitchen was stocked with all necessary cookware and spices, oils, etc. Floors, counter tops, and table surfaces were spotless. Bathroom equally clean, and Tina supplied a number of the essentials for the forgetful traveler (e.g. body wash, shampoo, conditioner, lotions, hand soap, shaving cream, sunblock, etc.) Beds were clean and comfortable, and many extra blankets supplied to defend against the ultra-powerful air-conditioner...that last one, the A/C unit, would alone sell me on this property if I visit again during the forthcoming summer.

Thanks for everything, Tina.
