this place was exactly like advertised, super cute decor and was the best location near everything we needed. They even had fresh flowers on the table for us and the kitchen was pretty stocked so before going to the store check out the house. if I ever go back to Austin I will definitely reach back out to stay here.

Visiting a friend in Austin

This property was amazing. Super clean and comfortable. It was a perfect home away from home. Location is excellent. It was very easy to walk around and find things to do and also very easy to get an Uber, scooter, pedi cab wherever you need to go. The back porch was fantastic and the coffee situation is 10/10. We will book this property again and I won’t even need to look at others.

As asvertised…

We went to Austin to attend the UT/ULM game and we’re looking for a property close to DKR and plenty of places to eat and shop. The property is well maintained and appointed nicely to make sure we had everything we needed. Beds are comfortable, back yard is secure and peaceful and one of the best things - the A/C wasn’t owner controlled to the point we were hot. Everything was great and this won’t be our last stay. Finally, Brian was responsive and easy to work with.

Great house

We enjoyed our stay at this house. It was a hidden gem. The owners were really easy to work with and were accessible if needed. The way they prepped the house was fabulous, they even had a few snacks laid out for the kids which they loved. The only down side to this house was the upstairs bedroom gets a little stuffy. We always travel with a small fan so it wasn’t a problem for us. These guys really thought about what might make your vacation stay great.

Hidden Treasure

This is a perfect, cozy hideaway property in the middle of bustling Austin. We parked our vehicle and took Ubers everywhere we went because, again, the proximity to downtown was perfect. Plenty of amenities and comfort throughout. If there was a negative….we could not operate the loft fan without having the lights on as well. So we removed the bulbs temporarily.

Wish I could rate this home with 6 STARS--Yes, it's that great!

This home is in a great Austin neighborhood and has EVERYTHING you could want when roadtripping through Texas Hill Country. We stayed 4 days and loved every moment. Felt like we were staying in the home of a friend who was really happy we were there. Outside courtyard, beautiful and private; kitchen is well equipped with many extra, thoughtful touches. I'm a painter and sketched inspired art in this space--the handcrafted wooden countertops and cabinetry make everything glow. If you're looking for a beautiful, clean, artistic vibe--this is your place. BRAVO to the property owner for nailing every aspect of hospitality and genuine welcome.

Perfect place, perfect location

We were in Austin to visit our daughter and this was the perfect choice for us. It has everything you need to enjoy your time here and we were so close to downtown. We brought our dogs and our cat and it was an awesome set up for them too with a fully fenced backyard. My daughter is a comedian and it was never too far to go see her perform. We cooked in a couple of times and enjoyed restaurants within walking distance too, and several others around town. It was very hot and humid during our stay, but the AC woeked wonderfully and in a couple cooler evenings we enjoyed the cornhole outdoors. The grill works great. Actually, Brian has truly provided everything for a great vacation. We highly recommend this place because you will feel at home here. Other things to do in the area; bike riding, swim at Barton Springs, drive up to Georgetown and tour the Inner Space cave, see the bats at the East Congress Bridge, do the wine tours about an hour away, visit McKinney Falls. So much in this area. Thank you Brian for a great stay. We'll be back!

It was lovely. Everything was just as advertised and shown in the pictures. The loft gets very hot. The area is great for walking to 6th Street and quick i to town but you do need a car. It was hot!

About the host

Hosted by Brian

Host profile image
- Worked between London, Chicago, and Texas for 20 years.
- I currently live in Dallas with my wife, but our two kids attend UT, so we bought a place in Austin to visit them. When our family isn't in town, we rent out our home. Hopefully, you enjoy it as much as we do!
- I enjoy biking, yoga, kayaking, guitar, online chess, and a good podcast

My home has been lovingly remodeled to preserve its Victorian feel while providing modern amenities. It's located in Central East Austin, which is close to dozens of restaurants, bars, and great places to go out.

Why they chose this property

The house is located at the back of the property past the front house. It has a private front yard and backyard, and since it's away from the street, it is very quiet and peaceful

What makes this property unique

The home is my personal house so this house is completely ready to be lived in with high-quality furnishings, a fully stocked kitchen, and all of the amenities that someone would expect from a residence.
