We spent most of our vacation in South Austin so the location was excellent. It was nice to have a comfortable, private and unique place to relax after running around town. We didn’t try to cook, but enjoyed making the coffee provided and warming up leftovers in the toaster oven. Generally, I prefer off street parking, but it wasn’t a problem in the quiet neighborhood. We knew from previous reviews that the stairs to the loft and bathroom were a bit steep so it wasn’t a surprise. We escorted our 4 year old up and down though he thought that precaution unnecessary. We found the whole situation comfortable and for us, hands down preferable to a typical hotel experience.
