My husband and I stayed two nights in Austin as part of a 6 week road trip through the states. After staying in motels we wanted something a bit more personal and marcella's cottage was perfect. The attention to detail was beautiful, it was a little oasis in the city, so quiet and peaceful and I loved having animals around, their cat was particularly friendly. The house is in a great location, far enough out so it's nice and quiet but a 15 minute drive to downtown and even less to the east side restaurants and bars.
If you are looking for a lovely slice of Austin I highly recommend this property.
