Book this home if you're lucky enough to find it available. It is cozy & curated, yet simultaneously luxurious. I was here for a work trip with two colleagues, and I only hope to come back to the bungalow again. I've been to Austin many times, but this was truly the best experience and opportunity to soak in the rumored Austin charm. The neighborhood is lovely, and the local tips provided by Shanna & Meshelle were spot on. I only wish I could have experienced more of them.
Shanna & Meshelle were excellent hosts; They left special touches - a drawer marked "just in case" for people like me who forget toothpaste, a bottle of wine and a snack basket on arrival, freshly baked treats in the morning, and a lot of Frida Kahlo juju in the bedroom. But while we felt taken care of and treated by them, our hosts still allowed us plenty of independence and privacy. I have stayed at many AirBnBs over the years, and some hosts who live on the property are obviously there to babysit. This is not the case at the bungalow, where Shanna & Meshelle are like East Austin fairy godmothers, only making you more at ease when you're lucky enough to spot them. Even the towels were delightful. I cannot say enough good things. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
