If you are looking for the perfect central Austin location, you cannot beat Kelly's guesthouse. We lived in Austin 40+ years, and when we return for events and to see family, this is always our first choice. It is convenient to both ends of town and it's located in an old Austin neighborhood that reflects the "real" Austin. The guesthouse has everything you could need and is private and quiet. We were there during the June blistering heatwave, and the house stayed cool. We highly recommend -- except the dates when we want it!
