Before I arrived, Dolina contacted me with directions to the house. Even though I arrived late, Dolina's husband was there to greet me with the key and give me a brief tour. The Birdhouse is adorable! It's just the right size for a single person or couple, and is full of colorful art. The loft area is perfect for cozying up to read or get some work done.

The small kitchen has all you would need to make a vacation meal, although I didn't do any more than make some tea. Dolina had asked if I preferred coffee or tea, and how I took it, so everything was waiting for me when I arrived. She also provided a useful sheet of information on the house and surrounding area for reference.

The area around the house is a nice residential neighborhood, and Torchy's Tacos is within walking distance if you want to experience one of Austin's best taco places. There is plenty of other food close by, and if you like to run or bike there are some great trails in the Austin area.

I would definitely stay here again, and would recommend it to friends.
