Melissa was the perfect host! She was very sweet, accommodating, helpful, and quick to respond.
Although the cottage is in the back behind the main house, it is very cute, cozy, and private! The path to the house is well lit at night and the door has a passcode on it so you don't have to worry about carrying a key!
There are many amenities inside the house and we enjoyed the coffee, tea, and coca-cola that were left for us! It was great to have both air conditioners and space heaters available as one day it was super humid and hot and other nights/mornings were cold. Melissa also has a packet with her personal number if there are any issues/questions and she makes recommendations of places to eat, drink, visit which were great! She goes in depth and tells you how far they are, how much, and what she enjoys most about each spot. It was so helpful!
I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone visiting Austin. I hope to stay again at some point! Thanks Melissa!!!
