The Birds Nest was the perfect place to stay in Austin. It was in a great neighborhood with lots of cool restaurants and breweries within walking distance and close to downtown. It was thoughtfully decorated and unique. The hosts were very accommodating. In addition to the nice touches they provide for every guest like a stocked fridge with beer, wine, oat milk and coffee, a book full of recommendations, and snacks, they provided a portable crib, high chair and toys for our toddler. It made our first trip with our toddler so much easier. The hosts were incredibly nice and responsive. And when we had a minor issue with the shower water pressure they came over right away and adjusted it.
A couple notes on layout: It’s an apartment above the garage and is craftily laid out to fit everything you need. There is a bathroom upstairs between the bedrooms but the shower is located in the downstairs bathroom. The bedrooms are cozy and have slanted ceilings that are quite low on either side of the room but it wasn’t an issue for us. We liked the coziness and it did not feel too tight. The beds were super comfy and the fans in each room were nice to have.
We were happy with our pick and would definitely recommend the Birds Nest to those traveling to Austin wanting to stay in a cool neighborhood and property where it’s easy to explore all the city has to offer.
