Good to know

A cute, homey 1930s bungalow in great next-to-downtown neighborhood. Cozy open plan living room and bright kitchen and great back deck with big back yard. Two bedrooms furnished with queen-sized beds, dressers and closets. All linens provided. Work from home office with large desk and view of back yard. The kitchen has a gas stove/oven, microwave, refrigerator, toaster oven, coffee maker and blender. Quiet, friendly neighborhood. Wifi. Washer/dryer. Central air/heat. Driveway and street parking. Easy walking, biking, busing and driving downtown, Convention Center, South Congress, Lady Bird Lake Hike and Bike Trail, museums, the art studios of the Eastside and UT, the University of Texas. Tons of delicious Eastside/central restaurants and some of the best food trailers in Austin all within walking distance: Indian, Mexican, Cajun, gourmet sandwiches, Asian fusion, fish and chips, vegan delicacies and Thai favorites. Even better, you’ll be less than a mile away from several of the New York Times “Best Restaurants in Austin” list: •⁠ ⁠Canje - a modern Caribbean restaurant (0.7 miles away - 3 mins drive) •⁠ ⁠Discada - a Northern Mexican street-food eatery (0.3 mile away (1 min drive / 6 mins walk) •⁠ ⁠Suerte– modern Mexican with house-made masa (0.7 miles away - 3 mins drive) On a separate note, here’s our personal choice that we think you should also try: •⁠ Launderette - a contemporary Mediterranean-inspired restaurant (0.4 miles away - 1 min drive / 8 mins walk) •⁠ Mr. Natural – natural foods store and vegetarian Mexican restaurant (0.4 miles away - 1 min drive / 8 mins walk) •⁠ Via 313 - Detroit-styleDetroit-style (0.7 miles away - 3 mins drive) This is a great place for a family or small group of friends to use as a base camp to explore Austin. So many truly Austin-y places close by, then a cozy, comfortable home to rest in. Plenty of pecan trees offer meditative sky-staring opportunities on the back deck.

House Rules

There is no smoking anywhere in the house. No cats (due to allergies) but dogs will be considered on a dog-by-dog basis. Other than that, I expect that my home and belongings to be treated with respect - just like you already would. Probably not needed, but just in case, a few extras: Parties and Extra Overnight Guests are Strictly Prohibited Please Do Not Sleep On or Move Furniture Quiet After 10:00 P.M. (Respect Residential Neighbors) Most of the time I can be flexible with check in and check out times - just ask.

Accessibility
