Welcoming, cozy and clean. Everything is well thought to make the stay as comfortable as possible. Robin's breakfast made our days even better!

I have never been here personally but I just discovered the house is a bed and breakfast, so I felt like sharing that this house used to belong to my 3rd great-grandfather Joseph C. Petmecky. He was owner of Petmecky sporting goods in downtown Austin, and he died here in August of 1939. He was 59 years old.

Robin and Mary were great hosts. I chose the Brava House based on reviews and everything about my stay exceeded my expectations. They shared some of their favorite spots in Austin and give me some helpful hints on dealing with the F1 craziness of race weekend at COTA. I couldn’t have asked for better hosts.I stayed in the Garbo Suite and learned about the rich history of the house and my room specifically over my daily breakfast chats with Robin. They really make you feel at home there. The Brava House is a perfect place for a quiet stay in Austin.

We had the best stay at the Brava House. Nick was welcoming and great to be around. He was always helpful, friendly, and with a smile. His breakfasts were fresh and delicious every time. What a great way to start the day! We enjoyed our morning walks around the neighborhood to view all the Victorian homes. We also enjoyed coffee on the front porch to plan the day. It's a great location close to all that Austin has to offer and with off street parking. The Brava decor was inviting and relaxing. Our room was very clean, had natural sunlight, and a very comfortable bed. We had a wonderful and relaxing stay. Highly recommend.

Excellent location, great breakfast, and amazing host. While providing a clean and extremely comfortable stay, Nick was also a wealth of information about the area. He had lots of suggestions ranging from places to visit, things to do, and places to eat, tailored to each guests interests. We would definitely recommend to friends and would stay here again should we return to the Austin area.

Absolutely wonderful! Nick is a wonderful host. Our stay was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Breakfast was great each morning. The victorian house/rooms mixed with modern amenities created the perfect ambiance we were looking for. The B&B is located in a beautiful neighborhood, and it is within walking distance to some great restaurants and sights. We will definitely be making another trip to Austin and staying here.

Brava house was a charming b&b located in a beautiful historic neighborhood close to downtown. We stayed 2 days and walked around quite a lot (caveat - we live in a big city and are used to walking everywhere). We walked to downtown and the capitol and congress street bridge both days. There were also a few restaurants and bars within a couple blocks that we checked out.It was a quiet neighborhood and had a tranquil garden outside with a little fish pond and porch swing. The room itself (Casablanca) was amazing. It was like a little studio - tons of space with a sofa and a very comfortable bed. The host, Nicholas, was very helpful and the room had a binder full of recommendations. Breakfast was great and we chatted a little with Nicholas about our road trip plans. He provided lots of insights on what he would do and his favorite spots around hill country. Parking was in the back and very easily accessible. Overall it was a fantastic stay and I would highly recommend it. I really wouldn't consider staying anywhere else considering the proximity of the neighborhood to downtown, free parking, large and comfortable room (with lots of style), friendly host, breakfast and charming neighborhood - Brava house exceeded my expectations.
