This Airbnb is located northeast of downtown Austin in a quiet neighborhood. Marcella's home is on a busy-ish road but you'd never know it once you go through the gate to the backyard. It's a lush, animal friend filled oasis of beautiful flowers, goats, cats, ducks, dogs, chickens, and a sweet pig named Shiner who loves to chat about the current events of the day.
The airstream is spacious and cool in the Texas summer. Marcella is a person with great style and there are so many little details that make this space special.
The bathtub is amazing, but do be aware there isn't a stand up shower if you're a person who doesn't enjoy a good clawfoot bath (although if that's the case, you probably have other problems).
I spent my mornings at Marcella's reading a book outside on the bench swing in the backyard while I drank cold brew coffees I bought at the store she has supplied with drinks, snacks, and souvenirs. Charlie and Reggie the cats both kept me company and love to sleep inside the airstream in front of the A/c.
My wife and I were only in town for the weekend, but we definitely plan to stay at Marcella's the next time we're in Austin.
