We visited Austin for nine days to see our son and granddaughter and wanted to stay in an urban neighborhood that was walkable. Gisela's Casita was perfect, it's close to restaurants and bars, there is even a playground close by that our granddaughter loved. Walking through the neighborhood is a delight. The place is very clean, bright, and well decorated. It looks just like the pictures. It has everything you need for a long stay. Gisela even brought us some lawn chairs so we could sit out front and enjoy the Austin vibe. We found the bed to be a little small, we are used to sleeping in a king sized bed. You can hear the train, but it didn't bother us, we thought it sounded romantic. If you get a chance, eat at Odd Duck on South Lamar, they use a lot of locally sourced food. A great place, in a great neighborhood, in a great city.
