This vacation rental is ideal for those traveling by themselves or with a spouse. You get the comforts of home in an ideal central location for the same price as a mid-grade hotel! The tasteful, contemporary furniture and finishes provided a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Thanks to the hosts' attention to detail like fresh cut flowers on the table and comfortable bath towels, I settled in nicely and had an enjoyable stay.
Austin is known for its fun, hip atmosphere and this vacation rental is in the heart of it all on historic West 6th Street. Walk down the driveway for a wonderful Southwestern meal and margarita at ‘Z Tejas. For breakfast or lunch, try the hip Portabla Café which is a few blocks away. In fact, CitySearch selected Portabla as the #2 lunch spot in Austin. If eating-in sounds more appealing, stroll down the street to Whole Foods and pick-up some gourmet food to cook in the vacation rental kitchen. The kitchen is stocked with spices and everything else you need to prepare a home cooked meal.
Although this property is a studio by definition, you'll find the term doesn't do it justice. The thoughtful floor plan creates an excellent division of space. The private courtyard featuring a nice patio table and colorful umbrella also adds to the living space.
If you are looking to travel to Austin, TX, don't pass up this rental! You won't find a better value for the price.

Pat and I want to reiterate how much we enjoyed staying at your apartment last week. Besides its being more than fully equipped (thanks again for the wine and toaster), the apartment's porch/deck proved to be a welcome oasis at the end of a long day with our new grandchild. We look forward to many opportunities to stay there again. Thanks.

Cute condo in fantastic Austin location

My husband and I stayed here for 17 nites in January and found the location to be wonderful. So close to many restaurants, Lady Bird Lake trails, music (try Z'Tejas right next door) and east and west 6th Street attractions. We actually found our favs quickly: 24 Cafe, Bistro Sally, Z'Tejas, Frank's and of course Whole Foods. So much to choose from. The condo is relatively quiet for being in the center of the action, although we did hear heavy footsteps above us but never at night. Easy to make a meal or two because of the staples available in the kitchen. Thanks! That welcome bottle of wine was delightful- we enjoyed it on the lovely balcony in the warm setting sun. Only one suggestion: add a heavy blanket. Some nights were chilly-we used our old Hudson Bay that we keep in the car (we are from Minnesota, after all..) Generally, a well-designed condo with everything you need to have a good time in Austin. We will be back.

Wonderful stay in Austin

This condo was even better than anticipated. Very clean, well stocked with everything one might need to prepare a meal. Whole foods is within walking distance and has an incredible selection of produce, olive oils,seafood, meat and wine! Also many prepared entrees to take home. Portabla cafe has great pannini sandwhiches and soups for take out or dine in, just a 2 minute walk! La Condessa downtown has the best happy hour in town. Tasty tapas, with great presentation and superb cocktails. We sleep in a King sized bed at home, and always have concerns about sleeping in a queen while traveling.....not to worry! This tempurpedic queen bed was so comfortable, we slept just great. The beautiful orchids on the coffee table were very much appreciated, and we also liked the way the coffee table could be adjusted to dining table height.....haven't seen that anywhere but in Europe. Needless to say, utilization of the living space made it all feel spacious and most accomodating. Loved the patio. The old wooden doors make for a lovely entrance and add to the charm, along with the pretty bouganvilla plants. Enough said. We are looking forward to our next visit. Thanks for everything!

I'm hesitant to write the review I really want to write so the next time I come to Austin this place won't be booked. But I have to say - WOW. This was one of the easiest rentals I've encountered. Craig and Elaine took care of everything and even had a birthday card and bottle of wine waiting when we got there. The condo was gorgeous - well decorated, perfectly clean and well stocked with everything. I always bring my own shampoo and conditioner, but used theirs instead as it was of a higher quality (that never happens!) The condo looks just like it does in the photos, is about a block from a great bakery for breakfast treats, close to downtown without all the noise, but still in walking distance, and was really just perfect. Craig was always responsive in answering my (numerous) questions and getting us set up. I would recommend this unit to anyone and I can't wait for my next trip to Austin so I can stay there again. Thank you Craig and Elaine for making my 30th birthday weekend special and effortless!!!

My husband and I stayed at this cozy little studio for two nights in August. It's very clean, charming, comfortable and quiet. Centrally located, we were able to drive or walk to all of the places we planned to go. There was a nice bottle of wine and fresh flowers waiting for us when we arrived, and all of the conveniences we would have in our home. We both loved this place, and will definitely be back and recommend it to anyone.

We cant recommend this place enough. Central, comfortable, beautifully decorated and equipped. Super comfortable bed and couch, great kitchen. Deck with those beautiful wood doors. Welcoming flowers and a bottle of wine. We stayed here coming in to run the Austin Half Marathon and we will most definitely stay here again next time we are in Austin. Thank You!

We've been telling everyone we know who's even remotely interested in visting Austin to stay here. What a great place! The location is ideal -- within walking distance of UT, historical sites, museums, shops, restaurants, not to mention Whole Foods, yet safe and quiet. Even though it's very small, Craig & Elaine have managed to include everything you'd need for a most comfortable stay. And Craig & Elaine are every accommodating, gracious and easy to deal with. We'd recommend it without reservations! Oops -- better make reservations!

The condo was wonderful, CLEAN, and very close to everything downtown. We have used homeaway for many rentals in several cities and this place is at the top of our list! We will be staying here again next time we are in Austin and know that you will be as pleased as we were. Thanks again.

My husband and I loved this condo. It's in the middle of everything but not too noisy, very well equipped and modern. We spent as much time as possible at the end of each day sitting on the patio looking into the trees. No complaints at all - it was perfect! We've rented a few places before but this was our favorite and we can't wait to come back.

Overdue review

Review Submitted: 11/04/10
We actually stayed here about a year ago, so this is long overdue - we were hoping to rent it again for our upcoming visit, which reminded me to write about what a great time we had here. We've stayed in several places in Austin, specifically in Clarksville, and this was by far our favorite. Beautiful neighborhood, very walkable location. The hosts are terrific and accommodating. Right next to Z-Tejas yet still very quiet. We loved sitting outside on the private deck and drinking coffee. When we first arrived, we were stunned to see the fridge stocked with interesting/varied beers, a bottle of wine, and tons of snacks. The last time I saw anything resembling this kind of hospitality I had to pay about an extra $150 per nite (i.e. Ritz Carlton!). This place is a terrifice find, and we are very sad that it's already booked the nights we will be in Austin! We even considered changing our dates just so we could stay here, but it's just not possible... Thank you!
