理想的なロケーション - イベント、Zilker Park、ダウンタウンへの散歩/自転車

I'm a longtime Austinite who is a journalist and author. My beat over the years has covered the Austin and Texas music scenes, the local people and culture, and Texas and the Southwest. My wife is an attorney whose cousin, singer/songwriter Rosie Flores, introduced us. Both of us love art, music and cooking. We also love Austin and enjoy showing it off to friends and visitors.

Our house is wonderfully close to so many of the things that make Austin unique and desirable--Barton Springs Pool, Lady Bird Lake and its hike-and-bike trail, the vibrant downtown, and South Congress (aka SoCo), with its eclectic array of great shopping, good eating and live music. Austin has lots of great neighborhoods, but we like ours best.

Though the house was built in 1955 and still shows Mid-Century-Mod features, we both have a longstanding love affair with Santa Fe and the Southwest, and our decor reflects that. We have an extensive collection of books, many centered around Texas and New Mexico, and we are fortunate enough to have many pieces of original art. Guests tell us they "feel at home" when they are here, and that's what we strive for. It's not Instagram bait, but it is comfortable and personal and reflects the owners.
