We loved our stay here! Steve was a welcoming host and the cottage had everything we needed for our long weekend in Austin. It was clean, stylish, and comfortable. We also loved the neighborhood! It felt very safe to us and was also just so lush and beautiful. It is also close to both South Congress and Barton Springs (maybe 10 minutes by car to each). It's also just a few minutes from the Broken Spoke if you want to check out that historic establishment.
Steve had bikes and helmets available, but because I'm pregnant and the area was hillier than expected we didn't end up using them. We rented a car which we found helpful to explore various parts of the city including a drive out to the Oasis at Lake Travis (highly recommend watching the sunset here at the quiet Oasis Texas Brewing, past the large/crowded restaurant you see when you first arrive!). When we arrived at the cottage, we asked Steve for a lunch recommendation and he suggested the nearby Papalote for tacos. We ended up going twice! So delicious. We also liked Mr. Natural which was just around the corner for a quick vegetarian lunch and smoothies.
If we return to Austin we would definitely stay here again! Thanks, Steve!
