I saw Frida's image in a Mexico City museum in 1986. Now she is iconic and a symbol of strength, beauty, and innovation. So welcome to our Frida House!
You will enter into the living room. Our cushy couch will beg you to rest. Our smart TV is a Samsung Frame TV with art when it is resting. The bedroom is off the living room with a comfy queen bed and a desk for working. Also off the living room is the full bathroom with an antique tub and a shower. The kitchen has everything you may need to cook a meal and a small dining for an intimate meal. The small fenced back yard is large enough for a table, squirrels, and maybe even a stray cat. This is also where you will find the two bikes for exploring.
That is it! Small, but we try to pack as much art, color, and sweet amenities for your stay.
The house is located on a busy street so it can be noisy. We do provide ear plugs and a sound machine. The location is GREAT! You can walk across the street to a cool liquor store or a not-so -cool convenient store. A few blocks away is HEB, our big grocery store. So, yes, on a busy street but very convenient.
