Dolina provided the perfect Austin experience — charming space in the South Congress district, a wonderfully relaxing base for exploring the city.

Check-in was a breeze, parking easy, and the space was immaculate. There's plenty of walking to be done in the neighborhoods arounds 1st Street and Congress Street, and downtown is a very short drive (or bus ride) away. The Casita is close enough to allow for quick drop-ins during the day — a nap after La Barbecue, or a quick shower after spending the afternoon at Barton Springs. It's just the right size for two people, with lots of natural light and some quiet patio space to relax in the morning or evening. There's also a lovely selection of books if you feel like lounging in the picture window for a while.

Wish we'd had more time! Two nights was definitely not enough,
