You will adore Margaret’s place; her thoughtful touches everywhere (coasters on tables and night stands, best quality tissue, TV guide under the TV remote, baskets filled with guides to day trips, restaurant menus, mosquito sprays, toiletries, ample towels, snacks, kitchenware, teas and coffees) will make you feel cared for in the most personal way. The guest quarters are decorated with traditional wood furnishings lending coziness and a feel of familiarity as if one is visiting a relative. Her garden is a corner of heaven with large fig trees and a perfectly manicured lawn. Her house is located in a charming and walkable neighborhood close to the heart of Austin yet quiet and safe. I highly recommend Margaret’s place; it allowed me to experience the “real” Austin.
