nestled in nature smack dab I the middle of austin; it's easy to forget that just a few blocks in any direction there's the hussle and bustle of Austin's hippest areas in this quiet tucked away neighborhood. pluses: friendly available hosts, lots of wildlife to enjoy, close to everything. drawbacks: bathroom is upstairs, not much privacy. all in all I loved this national landmark / certified wildlife habitat, it has a very austin bohemian vibe.
