I brought my boyfriend here for his birthday; for he loves simplicity, nature and new adventures! The Spartanette was just that! It was a different stay other than a hotel or cabin, a pretty comfortable one too. The place was clean, very homey, and private. I appreciated all the communication given during our stay here. We came down from LA, so it was our first time here in Austin. Kristi made sure to share some of their favorite locations that were extremely local, walking distance, which is something I was happy about. Although, we did spend most of our time downtown, which is also just about 10 minutes, it was nice to have local spots to hang out and stop by if we needed something. Kristi also made sure to contact us and see if we were okay after the lights went off, I'm guessing in the entire neighborhood, due to the storm that hit us one night. Luckily, the lights were off for only 3 minutes so we weren't all that concerned. Besides, there was a couple candles here and there which I considered would have been of great use if we had any issues. Overall, the check in/ check out instructions were clear, the hospitality was great, and communication was 100% there! I highly recommend checking it out and considering as a stay! <3
