Funky and Fun

The host was very clear about what amenities were provided and the space available, and it fit our needs perfectly since we planned to be out and about for most meals. It is very close to a lot of Austin staples like Zilker and the Broken Spoke. The host has binders of recommendations which were helpful and also shared customized recommendations in person. If we return to Austin, we'd likely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by lois goodman

Intuitive consultant for over thirty years. Have been managing my vacation rentals since 2010. I have two in the Zilker area. Art car artist....I have done five.

Why they chose this property

The neighbor is old Austin. It is close to everything and the people are friendly. Most neighbors take advantage of the quiet streets and walk when it is not too hot.

What makes this property unique

There are few vacation rentals with more color and art than the ones I have to offer. Peaceful Haven behind my home has been on the weird homes tour five times for it's unique decor.
