Really loved this little spot. Great location and the neighborhood was quiet. What we came to do was all within walking or scooter distance. The house is adorable, clean, and had all the amenities we needed. We would gladly stay in this home again, even if it’s just for that super comfy king bed! Thanks to Joan for an amazing stay!

Great location and super cute home! The house was a perfect size for our group. Being all ladies, we especially appreciated all of the mirrors in the house when getting ready! Beds were comfortable and we loved all of the books in the house-we looked through and talked about many of them. This house will definitely be on our list for future stays.

This house was very quaint and immaculately maintained, and located in a cute quiet neighborhood in West Campus. We loved all the amenities, including the fenced in backyard and cozy patio, as well as free parking. Within walking distance of many restaurants and campus activities. The beds were extremely comfortable as well. We hope to stay here again sometime!

About the host

Hosted by Joan E Winter

Host profile image
I am a teacher who loves to travel. Because I have enjoyed coming back to a home (rather than a hotel) when exploring in a new place, I am pleased to offer mine! I grew up in Houston but moved to Austin for graduate school and stayed - who wouldn't? Easy access to nature, beautiful art, live music, great restaurants and, of course, the incomparable Barton Springs. I love this town!

Why they chose this property

I chose this property because of its superb central location to both UT, parks and downtown and because it has character and coziness - two features I most appreciate in a place and in a person.
