The Blue Dahlia is really the place that fulfil any expectation it creates in its description. What you see in the photo it's what Flip has prepared for you. I've just spent a month there and the fist thing I noticed when arrived was that everything was set to you to enjoy from the very begining. There was even a jar of water in the firdge wating for me. Everything (AC, wi fi, electrodomestics, washing machine, etc.) was running perfectly.
The place is as quiet as you can imagine. It is in a complex of little cottages surrounded by trees. Neighbors were nice too and you don't even notice that they are there. The side of the street where it is located and the neighborhood are very quiet as well.
The flat itself is nice and cosy. The decoration(the blue color I recon) helps to create an atmosphere of cosiness. I had to spend a couple of days reading and wrting at home and the place was perfect for this job. The bed is in the mezzanin so you have the nicest feeling of being in a spare room.
The location is just excellent. Unbeatable, really. You can walk ten minutes and then you are on one of the nicest streets in Autin, Guadalupe, where you can find everything you can need (nice restaurants -with a wide variety of options- and bars; coffee shops, etc.). You are well connected to downtown with the bus, or you can even walk for 20 minutes and you'll be on the 6th St. where a bunch of music live bars are placed as well as theaters and cinemas. And the University is just crossing Guadalupe St., so if, for some reason you are looking for an accomodation near the UT, this is the place.
And last but not least I have to say that Flip was the most obliging and nicest host you can imagine. She was available when I needed, and answer all my questions.
If a need to go back to Austin some time in the future I won't hesitate and I will check if this place is available.
