I had a fantastic stay at Barbara & Robert’s. Barbara was incredibly responsive, kind and proactive - many thoughtful touches made for a really welcoming few days. The neighbourhood is perfect - quiet but just one block from all the cool things along So Congress. Can easily walk there or a bit further into downtown Austin, there’s also rentable city bikes relatively close by.
The place itself was very convenient and charming. The room has its own entrance accessed easily by a keypad. Worth noting that it’s a back room of the house rather than a separate guest house so there is some limited noise from the house but generally very quiet and peaceful. Barbara couldn’t have been nicer and I highly recommend as a great base to explore Austin.
