I had a great time in Austin and it was by large due to Elizabeth. First off, my boyfriend and I were driving from San Antonio and last minute she was able to accommodate our stay. The Birdhouse was clean, cozy and very private but most notably in a quiet, safe, and convenient neighborhood in East Austin. During our stay there was a tornado warning and Elizabeth was the first to inform us and even offered us space in her home if we were uncomfortable in the birdhouse. The only regret I have is not meeting her dogs sooner during our stay! This is a great spot for a couple or solo traveler tucked away in a tree lined neighborhood yet still within walking distance to all that Austin has to offer.
