An Amazing Spot!
Loved staying here for a quick weekend visit to Austin! It was central to a lot of great spots within walking distance, yet it was still far enough away from the action to get some peace and quiet. We loved all of the little critter friends that we got to meet with our stay including Juno, she was a sweety my Husband fell in love with. She'd be outside in the courtyard to welcome us back sometimes. Room was comfortable, the extra AC saved our lives during that muggy heat down there, and the shower was great! We also enjoyed bumping into our hosts! You guys are the nicest! Thank you for having us in your lovely space! Would definitely come and stay again and recommend to other!

Great Stay Downtown!!
Amazing stay in downtown Austin! My best friend and I came in for a fun weekend away and thoroughly enjoyed our time at Ted + Janelle’s place. The historic cottage was perfect as a launchpad for our stay and provided more than enough access to the downtown corridor. Not only was the cottage clean, but the accommodations were a great respite from the busy pace of downtown!! We look forward to staying again soon!

Very Close To Downtown Austin
We enjoyed our stay at Ted and Janelle’s property. The unit is attached to the main house but there is no access between properties. The unit has its own entrance with its own convenient parking space. Communications is excellent. We needed to add an additional day and early arrival and we were able to do through the app/text with Ted. A TV issue was quickly addressed by Ted. The refrigerator is stocked with water and a couple of bottles of the local brew which is a nice touch!

First time to Austin
Rental is in i great location for walking the city. One day we went around the State Capital and the University of Texas and down to the river. We walked to Austin City Limits for a show.. It was also great to have parking and a back patio to come home to. The accomodation was very comfortable.

Great SXSW stay
SXSW can be an exhausting event with 10 to 13 hour days for 8 days straight. The 8 days flew by staying in this suite. Staying in a hotel just cannot meet travellors needs for this type of travel - this property on the other hand did meet our needs on every level. Excellent hosts. Very attentive. Available at all hours. Easy booking. Cute place as could be. Historic old home - very charming suite we stayed in. The hosts welcomed us with cold local beers in the fridge in our kitchen. The property was quiet. It was a slow easy 21 minutes walk to dead centre 6th street action and 26 minutes slow walk to the Convention Centre for SXSW. The capital is just a few blocks away. There were several great restaurants near by - really liked Phoebes - a 2 block walk away - and 24, another breakfast/lunch place 7 blocks away next to an amazing record store. Awesome food at these. Waltons was good too. There are two coffee shops with 5 minutes walk. I recommend the one near the capital on 12th street. Our hosts had a red book of useful information with every restaurant, area, neighbourhood, you need to know about. It was indispensable. I really liked all the nice old homes in the area, the trees, totally safe, etc. It was nice to escape the non stop party of SXSW vs being trapped in a hotel. Thanks again for a great time!

We enjoyed a memorable 3-day stay at this historic home a few blocks away from the State Capitol. Arrangements were seamless, and Ted, the host, was helpful and full of information. Lots of museums, shops and restaurants within a 10 to 20-min walk.

Perfect Location
Walkable to everything and in a very quiet neighborhood. Communication with the host was seamless. Note the steps up/down from kitchen and bathroom into the main space for those that might find this an issue. No thermostat but this was not a problem; we were always perfectly comfortable. There is a ceiling fan and window A/C unit. We would stay here again. Lovely!
