The cottage was as advertised, and more. We were greeted with the latest copy of the Austin Chronicle, cookies, orange juice, English muffins and travel necessities like an ironing board, Q-tips, and plenty of soap and shampoo. All that was missing for true comfort was a house cat.
The massive HEB supermarket is a short walk away, and free-so-you-don't-have-to-pay grocery bags are hung on the wall in the kitchen. Two wonderful Mexican restaurants are c lose by, well, three if you include a great Tacorrida. With a combined age of 140 my wife and I had not trouble trekking into town and wandering 6th street, enjoying the funk of Congress Street shops, a number of food truck parks, and stopping at Threadgill's for their Sunday brunch with live music.
The area is quickly gentrifying, and wandering around the cottage was wonderful.
All in all, a warm home we were happy to be able to share.
Thank you Mary!
