I feel like I discovered a rare gem. I come to Austin a few times a year, but I’ve always stayed in pricey hotels that just keep getting more and more expensive. So this was a much better option. And I felt very much at home. It was nice to be able to sit in the backyard and have coffee (and yes, a glass of wine or two) instead of having to go to a hotel lobby restaurant.
The kitchen in this place was just the right size for groceries and a few meals. Although it’s hard to eat at home when you’re in Austin where there are so many choices in this neighborhood and downtown and in South Congress.
I also loved the set up with the TV, that allowed me to use the gaming system to access my Netflix account. Very easy.
The bed was very comfortable, and since the house is tucked away the room stays dark even after the sun comes up.
Now let’s talk about the bathroom. It looks like it came out of an episode of Fixer Upper. Just gorgeous. Plenty of room for all my toiletries and make up, which is not always the case with other places I’ve stayed.
I didn’t really get out and explore the neighborhood, because I was there to visit my daughter who lives closer to downtown. But it seemed friendly and quiet when I was out and about.
