Austin, Texas just got a whole lot better with the addition of Marcella's Airbnb Vintage Airstream.

The photos don't lie: delightfully-decorated trailer, killer toffee (you can buy some to take home), relaxing backyard, friendly cute pets (dogs, cats, mini pig, hens) and awesome attentive hosts Marcella and Meredith. The #20 bus into Austin is about three blocks away so no rental car is needed if you're staying in city and not out too late.

I enjoyed Austin but, to be honest, one of the high points of the trip was having the chance to visit with my hosts. We talked books, travel, foster parenting, Austin and brainstormed our dream vacations. I think of them as quintessential Austin - creative, funny, smart, laid-back, music/food loving and friendly.

Bottom line: add this wonderful unique slice of Austin to your Travel Bucket List. You won't regret it!
