I loved this home! The neighborhood was great and I was within a short walk to downtown. Uber was not available when I was in town this time around. I was actually glad because it encouraged me to walk a bit more – and I greatly enjoyed the 15-20 minute (or so) walk each day into different areas downtown! My advice? Skip driving and just walk if you can!

Melissa left a detailed list of her favorite neighborhood restaurants, which was really handy. I especially liked the Buenos Aires Cafe and Licha's Cantina – I was a repeat customer at both spots during my week in the neighborhood. Excellent food!

The cottage was as pictured and everything worked perfectly inside. The decor was lovely too :)

Other things I enjoyed while in Austin:
*Brian's Brew (without a doubt their Summermoon latte is the best coffee I've ever had)
*Standup paddle boarding on the water (head to Four Seasons for rental info – and it's close to the cottage, too!)
*Paperboy was a fun breakfast food truck in the neighborhood and I don't recall seeing it on Melissa's list.
