My husband and I loved staying at Shelley and Carl's bungalow! It's a perfect sanctuary to return to after a day of exploring Austin. Tucked away in a beautiful garden setting, the bungalow is private and very quiet. We enjoyed all of the little touches that our hosts added - organic soaps and shampoo, oatmeal fixings and coffee, and even a couple of cold beers in the fridge when we arrived!
We really enjoyed the Hyde Park location. There are plenty of cute bars and restaurants within walking distance, but you still get the quiet vibes of a more residential neighborhood. Between the ride shares (Ride Austin, Lyft, etc.), Car2Go, and B-Cycle, we had no trouble getting around Austin without a rental car.
