Eric and Erin were very quick to respond to text messages and phone calls. They were open and inviting. Location is great, near restaurants, bars, coffee shops, food trucks, Barton Springs etc. The bicycles were one speed cruisers, which were fine for the relatively flat Austin streets, but not for long distance exploration of the entire city. They provided coffee, water and beer. There isn't a kitchen to cook, but with all the restaurants nearby it's not necessary. Actual cottage has a little bit of a dormitory feel and does not feel very warm or homey. Great place to sleep and crash, but not to "hang out." Overall a good experience for Austin.
