Firefly is hands-down one of the best places we’ve ever stayed in Austin. The house has such a cool, calming vibe—beautifully decorated but still super comfortable. We felt right at home the second we walked in.The outdoor spaces are everything. We started our mornings with coffee in the courtyard and ended our nights under the stars in the backyard lounge—it honestly felt like our own little garden retreat.And the location? Couldn’t be better. Quiet and tucked away, but just a quick drive to downtown and all the fun spots. If you’re coming to Austin, you’ll definitely want to stay here—we’re already planning our next trip back!
