Andy and Ellen's cottage in Austin was perfect for us, self-contained, spacious, 'bed-sitting room' , a good sized kitchen and bathroom too. The kitchen was well stocked, all we needed at hand, great coffee too. Our host had also 'stocked' the bookshelves with Austin and travel mementos, books, DVDs, all of which, I felt, reflected the kind of interesting Austin people they are. We liked the large windows (good curtains, shades) that overlooked the garden, a veggie garden in early stages too, and lovely songbird sounds in the morning. It felt very private, and being in a lovely residential neighborhood it was quiet too; walking the neighborhood is a must! Even biking too if you wish as bikes are available. Traveling to anywhere in Austin by car was easy too. We would highly recommended Andy & Ellen's cottage as a lovely AIRBNB place to stay.
