About the host
Hosted by Jess
I travel often and love staying in short term rentals. I like that STRs have more space, and bedrooms for privacy. I also get great ideas from stays for my rental. I like places that make me feel like I could live there.
Why they chose this property
It is Old Austin, quiet and charming. The home was built in the 1950s and very well loved.
What makes this property unique
I love the heritage oak trees in the front yard. It is so peaceful and truly feels like you're not in the city and in a house in the middle of a beautiful park!
