About this property

Perfect Location For Everything Cool About This Great City!

Beautiful 1932 art-deco home, 1420 sq ft, two bedrooms with double/queen beds (third is my home-office, currently rather cluttered and not useful to guests), one [pretty spectacular] bathroom, spacious kitchen, living room, and dining room, wood floors throughout. Central A/C and heat, whole-house attic fan (nice in spring and fall, leave some windows open). Nice backyard is not fenced, quiet street **Great neighborhood that's close to everything** from state capitol downtown (22 blocks straight down funky South Congress Ave.) to the airport (15 min) and Formula 1 track (Circuit of the Americas, pleasant drive). Numerous famous restaurants and 24-hr places in walking distance -- for SXSW or ACL **could not be sweeter**, I know from experience living here since 1990! It could comfortably take two couples, more if you can sleep on cots, couch, etc. The house is usually available for short or long stays except March through May, when it is usually available only for stays of less than a week. I'm an ornithologist, work in Amazonian Brazil a lot, house is full of books and stuff related to that, please just leave it where it sits, thanks! Hablo español y falo português ;-)

The host requires you complete the following before checking out:
Strip any used beds and gather used towels
Remove personal items and take out the trash
Turn off the lights and lock the doors
It’s ok to leave any *unopened* food items in the fridge or freezer, but please do not leave anything that has been opened unless you *message me first* and I say it’s ok, thanks for understanding!
If anything is broken during your stay, please message me — preferably the day it happens, but always before you check out, thanks very much.
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.
I also rent a guest suite in my back yard (right side garage). Priority for parking in the driveway goes to whoever is the longer-term guest, thanks!

About the host

Hosted by owners/property manager

Host profile image
I'm an ornithologist, travel a lot, have put my home on VRBO to try to help earn some money to offset Austin's ridiculously high annual property taxes. I don't use Facebook or Instagram, in case you're wondering.

Why they chose this property

Quiet, yet absolutely perfect location for everything I truly love about Austin, with easy access to the airport, Zilker Park and Barton Springs, dozens of awesome restaurants, and safety -- I travel A LOT and I have never had a break-in attempt, probably because the house is "exposed" to the streets and has neighbors very close by.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location. And super-comfy, amazingly quiet little house, gets you feeling good as soon as you walk in.
