We had a wonderful stay at Bre's place! The home was spotless, perfectly located, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Bre was incredibly responsive. We felt right at home and would definitely book again!
Everything was clean and they had everything we needed already there! We had a wonderful weekend visiting an old war buddy!I will be smiling for a week!!!!
This was our first time in Austin and this little home was the perfect space for us! The location was amazing - so easy to walk to restaurants and bars. Very clean and such an easy check in/out process. Hope to come visit again soon!
Tho Austin is an amazing travel town, my trip is strictly business so this cottage was PERFECT! The cleanliness, easy access, seperate parking and over all EASE have made this property a repeat for my business meeting in Austin! Bravo to the team that provide this great property!
This location was absolutely perfect for anything and everyrhing we wanted to do while in Austin. Easy check in and great communication. Definitely recommend.
This is a fantastic cottage in a great location, I ran out out of time before running out of delicious restaurant options within just a few blocks.
Cottage was super clean and well stocked and communication was fast and easy.
Have already recommended this spot and would definitely stay again.
Very well designed, clean and quiet cottage. It’s in an excellent location walkable to restaurants and in a very interesting neighborhood just to walk around in. We were very comfortable in it for our three night stay. Had everything we could have needed.
This was the most adorable cottage. It was clean and in a safe neighborhood. The hosting team was super communicative. I want to go back to Austin just to stay here again. 🐝
Great little unit with privacy. Everything exactly as described and owner was a pleasure to deal with on all aspects of the booking and the check-in process. Unit was very tidy and Internet access was fast.
Property is in a very quiet part of south Congress area of Austin. This little cottage is surrounded by some really beautiful houses. Very walkable area even at night several places to get coffee or food or wine and very close to Congress Avenue where there are a lot of fun places to eat and bars.Perfect size for two. And a very comfortable bed. The host Bri was very responsive and proactive. We enjoyed the day very much.
I needed a couple of days of solitude to recharge and work on 2024 goals and this location was just what I was looking for! I loved being able to walk to my favorite restaurant too! I will be back.
Great Location! We could walk to SoCo and downtown. The weather was nice for December.
The property was good but could have used hotter water. First timer for a verbo. Would use again.
An amazing little getaway! Close enough to downtown yet outside the major portion of the city! Clean, as in immaculate. It was great to cook our own meals as we wanted. Incredibly quiet. Exceptionally well set up. We will return!
Cute studio ADU with everything you need, nothing you don't. Easy check in and out. Very clean and comfortable. Very quiet and peaceful despite being only 2 blocks from busy South 1st Street, where excellent eats abound. Excellent location--about 20 minutes from almost anywhere I wanted to go during my stay and a reasonable walk to Lady Bird Lake with a view of the fast-growing Austin skyline. Easy communication with host. Definitely recommend and plan to stay here again on my next visit to ATX.
Exactly as described and more! This tiny house did not skimp on construction, appliances or interior decoration. Everything is outfitted as I would for my own house which made us feel at home.
The owners provided clear, concise, directions and guidelines. Their communication was welcomeing.
It's a short walk to restaurants and night life, and the neighborhood is lovely and safe. We would absolutely stay here again!
Very nice location. Quiet neighborhood. I appreciated all the little things from the book on the restaurants to include a map of the area, the decor was very confrotable and had highlights of places in Austin. Loved the bee glasses and tea options. This might sound ridiculous but, I was so happy to see pots and pans that were stainless and not covered in teflon. Thank you! Appreciated all the amenities and instructions. The communication was great as well. We look forward to staying her again next year.
