Catherine’s guesthouse was welcoming cozy and homey; It felt like one was transplanted to the thirties or forties, as every object and piece of furniture was carefully curated to recreate the atmosphere of that era, to mesh with the architecture of the house itself; the bedding was plush inducing a long and restful sleep. The kitchen was perfectly appointed with the right tableware and pots and pans; even though we didn’t cook, we could not resist savoring the sourdough bread (one of the best we had tasted), slathered with butter or jam, all of which had been carefully left for our use by our host (along with bottles of mineral water, sun-tea, eggs, fruits and snacks). On the front porch, the swing and chair were a lovely addition which allowed us to enjoy the outdoors restfully. All in all, our stay went smoothly and happily thanks to our thoughtful and meticulous hostess, Catherine. Warmly recommend this guesthouse for anyone interested in experiencing Austin of a bygone era in the most pleasant circumstances.
