What a perfect stay - so thoughtfully put together with everything we needed provided. Mornings waking up to that view/ evenings closing it down looking out over the city - just magical! The location couldn't be better. I really couldn't recommend any more highly, it is perfect!

Austin Getaway

We spent 4 nights in Austin to check out the city. The property is walking distance (2-3 miles) from downtown. The neighborhood of the home is nice some of the surrounding area is sketchy for us non city folks. The bed was super comfortable, kitchen well equipped. Great walk in shower and bath. We thoroughly enjoyed the balcony area. My wish would be an umbrella or awning for the morning hours. Great spot for coffee or cocktails. Casita was clean and the owner was quick to communicate when needed.

View of downtown Austin ~ awesome

First time visitors , in town for a family wedding. Susana was easy peasy communicate with. Initially told her we’d not being renting a car, last minute we did and she was very accommodating, giving up her spot in her drive for us. Property is darling, clean, good supplies, great yard with plenty outdoor activities. Our favorite feature by far was the deck overlooking downtown Austin. Easy location for Ubers & Lyfts. Great location.
