We had a wonderful trip to Austin and loved staying in the South Congress area! Laura's casita was perfectly located for quick access to the SoCo area (if you want awesome local food/drink spots) and to the lake (if you want to do anything on the water or see the bats!). We walked and took scooters very easily to and from there. It's also a fairly short (20 min) Uber/Lyft ride to the Domain area, which was great for a fitness class and shopping. Laura and Michael were super responsive to us, coming to our rescue once, and were also so accommodating and friendly. When I asked Laura about local running spots, she sent over a map and directions to Lady Bird Lake where I had the best run on a beautiful trail there! This location can't be beat, and it's a great spot for a weekend getaway to Austin.
