My stay at the casita was fantastic!! Lemme give y’all some pros & cons:
Pros:
- This tiny house is completely separate from the main house, therefore giving you full privacy.
- The A/C worked wonderfully and was easy to use.
- There’s a Roku TV in there, which is a huge plus for me!!
- The bed was super comfortable and cozy.
- The check-in/check-out process was super easy once I got the code from the host.
- The neighbourhood was quiet & I felt safe out there during my stay.
- The host was super nice & helpful and very accessible if I needed help with something, plus she provided every little thing one could ask for during their stay.
- Bonus: There’s a little notebook between the bed and the TV where you can leave a personal note for the host, which I thought was really cute.
Cons:
- One of the light bulbs above the sink was out, but it didn’t bother me that much (Plus I said as much to the host too)
- I didn’t use the fan above the bed that much because it was too dusty; the lights above the sink were quite dusty as well.
- I got bit several times by mosquitoes during my stay (granted, it’s a Texas summer, so I don’t blame the owner for that one, though she did have a mosquito repellant candle which helped a little bit, plus I packed my own things to prevent that too (or at least diminish it).
- Funny con: I think there’s a rooster nearby that cock-a-doodle-doos every morning (again, out of the host’s control), but if you like to sleep in, that might be an annoyance.
Something important to know too: The casita run by a sensitive septic system; so for instance, if you want to use the toilet, you must ONLY flush with toilet paper (there’s even a sign that will tell you as much above the toilet, plus another one in the kitchenette as well)
All in all, it was a great stay, & I would definitely want to come here again next time I’m in Austin! ❤️❤️❤️
