Margaret's place is a gem, and in a quiet, walkable neighborhood. We were able to walk to the Cherrywood Coffeehouse easily, and took a longer walk(under 2 miles) to Black's Barbecue. We felt very safe walking around at night. One helpful thing to know is that the bed has a footboard, so my 6'1" husband was able to stretch out, but anyone taller might not be able to. Margaret is really kind and helpful, it was a pleasure to meet her. She provided a lot of good information on things to do in Austin. She also has a beautiful back yard and patio where it is really nice to have a cup of coffee in the morning. Despite heavy rain, my husband and I had a great time in Austin and we look forward to staying here again next time we are in town.
