My three- night stay at Kelley and Nate’s place couldn’t have been better. I ran into Kelley a couple of times and was in contact with Nate about arrival, and they are both very accommodating and friendly hosts. The Hyde Park location of their guest house was perfect—beautiful, peaceful, and walkable. In the mornings, the house is bright and treehouse-like, with natural light in every room. It was hard to leave to go out! In the evenings, it’s very quiet, pleasantly dark, and a good place to fall asleep after a busy day. Kelley and Nate have provided a lot of personal touches and details, like coffee and a French press in the kitchen, seltzer water, muffins, and jam and jellies in the fridge, a gas stove, original artwork and posters throughout the house, bikes to explore the neighborhood, chairs on the landing at the door to relax in, an interesting shelf of books, and a Bose stereo system set to stream your own music or tune in local radio. It’s a great space with a lot of architectural character and charm, with comfortable furniture, and a great vibe. I’m already planning my next trip to Austin around another stay here.
