Summary: beautiful, close to SoCo/6th st/Downtown and UT, very safe and private, full amenities, brilliant host.

The photos of the casita are beautiful, but actually being in the space and staying there was divine. As I explored the place and all it's charms and thoughtfulness laid out by our host Dolina, I was more excited to stay here in the Casita than to explore the city the evening I arrived. Hunger eventually drove me out and I was within a short 5 minute or less drive to Downtown/6th street, Zilker Park, a mile from the heart of SoCo. UT was about a 10-15 minute drive. I could not image a better location, close enough to everything I wanted to visit, but not waking up to people trampling across the sidewalks of the casita like some places. I would definitely recommend the Casita to friends and family. I even started to feel guilty for not bring an extra friend to share the experience with us.

Extras: comfy bed, fluffy pillows, thoughtful treats of chocolate, tangerines, coffee, cream, and tea. Also a glorious collection of books to read and plenty of space to sprawl out and enjoy them. After confirming with Dolina, I was able to have a very flexible check out time.
