Fun. The "fun" in "Fun Central Austin Convenience" is understated. Michele is a phenomenal host, tour guide, and conversationalist. Her space is unique and welcoming. In fact, there was one evening where we decided to eat and hang out around the table on the patio rather than venturing elsewhere.

Our extended adventure in Austin was unexpected and a little last minute. We were supposed to be elsewhere over the weekend, but due to the torrential rains and flooding, our plans changed (after having changed several times already). That was when we found Michele's listing. She was prompt to reply and accommodating from the start.

One amenity that must be highlighted is the outdoor shower. Michele will tell you that you must consider using it at least once--trust her. And know that if you use the outdoor shower once, you'll likely use it the whole trip and begin planning installing an outdoor shower at home. Since the first moonlight shower, building one has been a constant conversation. Many thanks to Michele for her wonderful advice about being sure to build it larger than you initially think you'll need.

We would most definitely suggest being open to the adventures that come your way when you stay at Michele's place. We learned so much about Austin in such a short time. We also saw sights we'd not yet seen in our many trips there. Whether you've been to Austin before or it is your first time, be sure to ask for recommendations because Michele can help you to plan an amazing trip. Her knowledge of the music scene is awesome and she can direct you to the bookstore that is just for you. The location is quite wonderful--particularly if you're looking for excellent restaurants and coffee shops.

Michele's place is definitely on our list of places to stay in Austin.
