The space
As you enter, the guesthouse or "casita" as we call them in Austin, has an L-shaped kitchen to the right and a foldable dining table/work space with foldable cafe chairs in a niche to your left. In front of you is a seating area with a chair and 3-seater sofa that can be folded out into a queen sofa bed. The other half of the casita is a queen bed (also foldable), 3 foot wide wardrobe, and a private bathroom. Travel themed decor features vintage items collected by the owners while living and traveling in Europe in the early 2000's.
Guest access
Access to the unit is directly off the street, down a gently sloping river rock path of rocks 1-3 inches in size. This is not wheelchair accessible, nor should you use this path with a cane/crutches, etc. You may have to carry bags with tiny wheels and should consider wearing flat shoes. Path lighting illuminates this walkway from dusk till dawn for your convenience. This neighborhood does not have restricted parking and is extremely pedestrian friendly. Near to major roads Lamar, Burnet, 45th, and Mopac yet quiet and peaceful.
