I was at Mary’s for several months and it is genuinely the DREAM Austin retreat! Great for both work (peaceful vibes, quiet sleeps) and play (ideal location, wonderful yard).
I have lived throughout Austin and this is a “fleeting” find in that it’s still extremely SAFE, both for personal safety AND property safety! In my 3 months I never felt uncomfortable walking around at night, I occasionally forgot to lock up, and not once did anyone coming knocking at the door or hang out in the yard. Personal safety is a “must” for me but what was a huge added bonus is what I call “property safety” - it’s as if you’re trapped in a bit of a time warp with packages being safe at your doorstep (expensive looking ones!), clothes left undisturbed to air dry overnight, no “innocent” car vandalism or smashed windows … I mean, a genuine rarity these days and something I wanted to attest to after my long stay.
100% recommend, top Austin bnb!
