Our stay at the Birdhouse was perfect from the get-go. Communication by text and email with Dolina was prompt and courteous, and she and her husband Yohan are warm and welcoming hosts. The Birdhouse itself is just as charming and adorable as in the photos--if not more so! Dolina is an interior designer and it shows- with the fun colors, design details, and ingenious use of space. The house is cozy yet airy, trendy, yet 'homey'... and very practical with the kitchen nook and sleeping loft in addition to the main quarters. The two closets were well lit and large, with lots of hangers and an iron and ironing board. The beds were cozy! Lovely fresh organic white linens to cuddle up in... And the towels in the well-stocked bathroom were thick and fuzzy. The casita is tucked away from the road in a beautiful rear garden and very tranquil. The patio was a delight to emerge onto in the cool morning to sit amidst he bamboo and live oaks and have a cup of coffee... SUCH a treat. There is even a second patio behind the casita, but we loved the first one so much that we didn't feel the need to use it. All in all, this was a wonderful experience that we would highly recommend to anyone seeking a unique experience in Austin. A+++
