Home away from home

This VRBO felt like staying at a friend's house while they were away. It was comfortable and felt like a home (books, porch swing, plants, etc.) The location was convenient and the beds were comfortable.

Such a cute place!

This is our second time to stay here. We love everything about it. Location is ideal for our student who lives in West Campus, she can drive or walk to us easily. Beds are comfy and the home is so cozy, and we love bringing our fur baby. We can't wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Joan E Winter

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.
