About this property

Zilker, Downtown Austin view

Modern, nicely decorated casita, our guest house, 1 BR, 1.5 bath in the heart of the Zilker neighborhood, walking distance to restaurants and downtown. Highlight is a terrace with fabulous downtown view. It is very private, set in the back of our spacious property. A great place to vacation and enjoy Austin. Quiet neighborhood where everyone knows each other. Perfect place to make home base while exploring Austin. Close to Zilker Park where ACL is held, downtown and famous South Congress district are also nearby.

A nice, clean, well appointed casita with a great view of downtown Austin! Though we had no needs to be addressed during our stay, we clearly sensed our host would have been attentive to any, had something come up. We found the location within walking distance of restaurants and the park areas by Lady Bird Lake. And, it was just a short drive to numerous other dining, shopping and entertainment venues. Couldn't ask for more!

Susana is the best VRBO host that we have ever experienced! She is obviously very detail oriented: the comfy beds, pendant lights, beautiful artwork, etc. The best part was the fantastic rooftop patio overlooking downtown Austin! An amazing panoramic view of the city!
