Nestled in South Austin, this neighborhood strikes a perfect balance between serenity and convenience: it’s an easy 10-minute bike ride or quick drive to downtown. Surrounded by mature trees and quiet streets, this neighborhood provides a laid-back, residential feel just minutes from the city. Locals enjoy easy access to South Congress, Zilker Park, and Barton Springs, along with the area’s iconic restaurants, coffee shops, and live music spots that define Austin’s charm.
Getting around from here is pretty easy—parking is free and straightforward, so if you’ve got a car, you’re good to go. Most spots in Austin, like downtown, South Congress, and the East Side, are 5-10 minutes away by car. Rideshares are reliable and don’t take long to show up. There’s also a bus stop within walking distance if you’re going car-free, though you’ll probably want a car or Uber for convenience, especially in the heat. The area’s walkable for short outings, but not super dense with shops or restaurants.
⭐ The house is clean and the beds were very comfortable, would recommend staying!
😎 What’s Austin, TX all about?
Austin’s one of those places that really has a little bit of everything—great food (especially tacos and BBQ), live music pretty much every night, and this cool mix of outdoorsy and artsy energy. You can spend the morning paddleboarding on Lady Bird Lake, grab lunch from a food truck, then catch a show at the Moody Center or just wander South Congress for shops and people-watching. It’s super laid-back, a little weird (in a good way), and somehow always buzzing without feeling overwhelming.

As your Host, our aim is to ensure that you have as comfortable a stay as you possibly can. We want you to create lasting memories during your stay in Austin.
But to do so, we would really appreciate if you could follow the below house rules. We know, we know, rules are boring… But these rules ensure we can provide future guests like yourself with a great experience.
Check out: Please reach out to us about early check-in/late check-out options in advance so we can coordinate with the cleaning company’s schedule and any fees they might charge for rush cleanings. Check out time is 10:00am unless otherwise arranged with us. If you are still in the home after 10:15am, an additional night charge may be incurred unless otherwise arranged.
Kitchen: Help yourself to use anything in the kitchen. We provide an initial supply of coffee, cooking utensils should you wish to cook, trash bags, cleaning supplies, etc. Our only request is that you wash all dishes and utensils used prior to leaving in the dishwasher. $50 dirty dish cleaning fee by the cleaning company.
Cooling/Heating: There is a nest thermostat that controls the AC and heat, if you could please leave the home at 70F when leaving that would be greatly appreciated.
Noise: As neighbors are around the property, we would appreciate it if you could keep the noise down after 9 pm and before 8 am. There is a $150 noise complaint fee during quiet hours.
Parties: No parties allowed. $2000 party penalty fee. Especially from guests not disclosed in the reservation. For special events please inquire.
No Smoking: Do not smoke inside the property, if you wish to smoke/vape, please do so outside away from the entrance of the home and dispose of all smoking waste. $500 fumigation/ozone fee for smoking inside evidence.
