Neighborhood
From the sweeping view of downtown Austin from the South Congress Avenue, to the Town Lake Hike and Bike Trail there is a lot on offer here. Just a few minutes stroll from Park Lane Guest House you can find many boutique, quint-essentially Austin ‘funk’ stores, trendy cafés, restaurants, bars, coffee shops and yes – live music venues. Austin is undoubtedly the Capital of Weird – a city which for the most part has eschewed big box stores, chains and corporations in favor of their own unique spirit and home-grown talent. On the of the best of these is the infamous Continental Club, where many famous performers careers have been launched, and is only a 4 minute walk from your door. An extremely local area, lace up your walking shoes – or hire a bike – and take the time to explore. Who knows what you will find! - Jordan Adkins, Travel Writer
