The accommodation is very warm and welcoming with all the facilities you need. There is a microwave and fridge which is ideal. Marilyn provides an abundance of tea, coffee, milk and all the toiletries you need. The beds are so comfortable.
MurphysOak is located in a lovely quiet, safe, tree lined neighbourhood. We had no transport so we either walked, used the bus or Uber. It is about a 45 minute walk to downtown, or 20 minute walk to a bus stop and a $10 Uber ride from downtown.
Marilyn and Larry are wonderful hosts who go above and beyond to make for a fabulous stay. We were in Austin for the Grand Prix but had no transport. They drove us to the grocery store and took our shopping home so that we could mooch around unencumbered. Marilyn also took us to a Honky Tonk session one evening. Their southern hospitality was wonderful.
We wouldn’t hesitate to stay at MurphysOak if we ever returned to Austin in the future and would highly recommend Marilyn and Larry as hosts.
