The place is even nicer than it looks in these pictures. You truly feel like you have your own *space* (not just a room).

Love the neighborhood -- from what I can tell, it's like the Astoria of Austin (ie, what Williamsburg used to be before it became truly "hip"). Walk down a few blocks to Rosewood and Angelina and you're at some great food stands. Walk a few more blocks to 6th and Comal and you're at the center of the "alternative" bar scene.

Kristine and her family let you have your own space, but when you do cross paths, you realize that they are excellent people too. They are very laid back, and are perfect for guests who are the same.

I highly recommend this to anyone who wants something better, cheaper, and more authentic than a hotel.

PS - this location is great for having a bike! I had a good experience with the following:
