I was drawn to the cozy look of the cottage, and it was indeed cozy. It's a lovely space, surrounded outside by flowers and greenery. When my son visited, he commented "this is you" as soon as he walked through the gate and stepped on the path that leads to the cottage entrance. There is a Zen Center just down the street, a fantastic "all-gluten" restaurant one block further, and a great Co-op across Guadalupe. I had everything I needed, appreciated the "green" products in the kitchen and bath, and put the washer and dryer to good use...temps were higher than I am used to. I'm sure I left a few unwanted pounds in Austin after walking everyday. Check out Central Market on Lamar too!
All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better match! Lindsey and Steve are attentive and thoughtful hosts, and I am happy to have met them.
