My adult daughter and I stayed in Gretchen's Funky Little Guest House for a few days while in Austin last month.
We absolutely loved it! Loved the retro style, the peacefulness, and the location. The space was immaculate and well appointed.
We had rented a car at the airport, but found that we didn't need to use it on the days spent exploring the city of Austin.
Our favorite part of the city was that which was right on our doorstep and/or a short walk away along the S. Congress corridor. Sort of a Bohemian/Hip feel...
Lots of interesting choices for dining at all price points, interesting shops and met some interesting people in this neighborhood.
I highly recommend Gretchen's Funky Guest House and would not hesitate to stay here again should my future travels include a journey to Austin.
Thank you, Gretchen! for your warm hospitality...

PS: BTW, I would give my eye teeth for that chaise longue in the LR. I have never ever seen such a wonderful thing(!); it offers some serious R and R!!!!!! I believe that you have my address should you decide to make the gift of it to me... Not sure that the USPS has a big enough flat rate box for it, however. : ( / : )
