This was an absolute oasis for us. Shelley and Carl's back yard bungalow is an absolute treat. The yard is lush and decadent and Shelley is an incredibly welcoming host. Her suggestions were spot on (she told us how to get into a wonderful local restaurant that books far in advance by showing up and grabbing a table in the entrance area when in opens - it worked perfectly!) and achieved the perfectly level of being there and available while allowing plenty of privacy and independence. The location is fabulous - tons within walking distance and easy parking/driving access for when we wanted to go further afield. Now we just need more excuses to return to Austin!
