Honestly, the birdhouse was not a great fit for us. We had a mixed experience, which I will try to summarize in a compliment sandwich!

First of all, Elizabeth was great. She was prompt and thorough with information. Check-in was super-easy, which made our itinerary flexible.

The not so good: the back area (where the birdhouse is located) is a shared space with a rented RV. The renters over there were very loud, and we had a 7AM run to make the next morning. Adding to sleep woes were some insufficient window shade issues. By sunup, the sunlight was going directly into my eyeballs. Some smaller details could have made the stay a little bit better. The gate was quite difficult to open/close in the dark (get some WD-40 on that), and the backyard could use a bit of tidying. Between the mud from the rain and lawn obstacles, traversing the backyard after a couple of drinks might be considered annoying. Finally, the birdhouse, more or less, had expected amenities. However we ran out of paper towels and toiletries were present, but unlabeled. Small stuff.

More good: If you are looking to have a good time in the E. Austin/Rainey Street area, this place is the ticket. Nice neighborhood that is walkable to those area. The birdhouse itself, yes, is small, but adequate for two people. If a night out and sleeping in is on the agenda, I think it's a perfect fit.
