We loved our stay at Chris' cottage in Austin. It was a great space and very clean. While it was a very convenient location for all the iconic eateries on South Congress and South 1st Ave, we found that it was difficult to get around without your own transport as we couldn't find a ride share service to work with our Australian phone and cabs could also be unreliable. No issues with Chris however, who was very welcoming and gave a great tour of the neighbourhood to give us our bearings.
