The tiny house just added to the adventure. It was a perfect size for two and just what we needed. The location is wonderful and within walking distance to many, many restaurants, food trucks, and coffee shops. We also could walk to a big trail and enjoyed the lake view. We hope to come back to Austin again soon and be able to stay here again! Super fun! ##### Kenzie R.

Street parking was not an issue. I was immediately comfortable walking into the tiny home. The layout, overall build and finishings are lovely. AC kept the space cool and the bed is comfy. No issue with noise from the neighborhood. Would recommend! ##### Cindy B.

We needed a place for UT graduation. This was perfect!!! House has everything we needed. We felt very safe. Loved the neighborhood. Sat on the front porch both morning and evening. Really a great space. ##### Beth R. Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doug S. 27 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute Tiny House Neighborhood is truely typical of Austin, very transitional. Despite the main property being surrounded by shacks, I was told that those shacks are worth over $500k. The owners have a gorgeous home and the tiny house is nestled in the back. Neighborhood is very close to the downtown and a lot of amenities. HEB supermarket delivers. First thing I did was download their app. Ordered some staples. Only one block up from 2nd St, there were every type of resturant possible. I walked to Interno (Italian) and Skyview Pizza. Easy walking distance for great places without ever having to go to the pricey posh places downtown. Only complaint, UBER. The property is 2miles from the convention center. Chose not to rent a car, big mistake. Uber cost over $20-30 to get to downtown. Airport was over $50. It added up quick. There is plenty of parking in the neighborhood, so way your options for renting a car. The unit was simply perfect. The highlight was the bathroom. Huge shower. For a crashpad, it was simply perfect. I didn't have to ask for anything. Unlike many properties, the owners have done an excellent job with pictures and description. No surpises! ##### Doug S.

Great layout in this Tiny House for 2 Adults and Pets ##### Elizabeth R. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### ANDREA B. 28 Nov 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication #### Not the best experience Overall the property felt a bit neglected. We had planned to bring dinner in to eat on the deck on our first night but it was unusable as it was quite dirty and piled with leaves, as was the outdoor seating itself. The yard area around the unit was mostly dirt, weeds and dog poop. The property did not feel particularly clean inside either. Dust on some surfaces, kitchen counters were junked up with with various appliances and large dish drainer, the floor was gritty and the window tracks had mold growing in them. There was an old, well-used sponge left for kitchen use which was just disgusting. I wound up cleaning the counters/surfaces with clorox wipes and swept the floor so we would have some level of comfort. The jar of earplugs on the nightstand was odd and made us worry about noise but I only heard the train a couple of times in the night. Bath towels seemed old and were quite rough. there was no bar or hooks so we had to drape towels over chairs to dry after use. The unit itself is cute but its condition was not particularly inviting. ##### ANDREA B. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terry S., Bay Area 31 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay! Recommend Perfect jumping off spot to check out East Austin. Great communication with owner (let us check in early), easy access to unit, close to downtown! Everything you need in a self-contained tiny home. Highly recommend staying here & checking out East Austin & the bats under the Congress Bridge! ##### Terry S.
