Brad's cottage was an awesome place to stay. It's a cute, revamped little house that's a lot bigger in person than appears through photos (and Brad has redone it all himself which I thought was really cool). It has a fridge, gas stove, all needed dishes, cutting board, utensils and AC which was REALLY nice to have in the Austin heat! There's a radio for your use, a TV and plenty of fresh towels in the bathroom.

The cottage/loft is about a 10-15 minute cab ride from the Austin airport and only a 5-10 minute ride to downtown from the cottage. There's a light rail station right across the street which will take you to the desirable East 6th Street near downtown (lots of restaurants, bars, music for people who like alternative, laid back neighborhoods, which I do). There's also a couple buses that you can catch near the corner of Brad's street.

The downstairs bed was really comfy. I didn't stay upstairs in the cool loft bed which I regret now - so make sure you spend a night up there.

Brad was super friendly and helpful about the different neighborhoods and gave me tips on music venues to check out. I also enjoyed meeting his dog Moses. I'd totally stay at Brad's again.
