5 minutes to Everything Austin--easy walk to Downtown or to swim Barton Springs

Clean, quiet, comfy and cozy! What more is there? How about a great host and outstanding location in close proximity to Zilker Park, Barton Springs and amazing eats. Couldn’t ask for a thing better!! Can’t wait to come back next year! Thank you, Herb and Valentina!

If you like hotels and related amenities, don’t stay here (nothing wrong with that). If you want the Austin experience, somewhere quiet in a great neighborhood, great hosts, covered free parking, amazing location, all the comforts of home... on & on.... this is your place. Perfect for couples, but a studio upstairs bed can sleep a guest/kid. Walking distance from the original Chuy’s, just steps further to Barton Springs... and Herb is awesomeness.

The location of the property is great. We picked it based on that, and it was a good call. Also, our hostess was accommodating of our schedule. However, we experienced plumbing issues in both the bathroom and kitchenette, it was so tiny that we felt cramped, and the odor of cat urine was very unpleasant. Generally we felt like we were slumming. We are an older couple and have developed higher expectations than we had when younger.

Clean and well supplied studio room, great communication with the host!

We came to Austin to experience the nature of Zilker park and we were never disappointed. The Host was always helpful and accessible and gave us so many great tips. We would definitely stay there again!!!

Gracious, welcoming hosts. Everything was supplied in abundance. Seemed like a very safe neighbourhood. Very close to excellent food, wonderful parks, and other city amenities. Also just a hop, skip, and a jump away from downtown Austin with all its culture and nightlife at your fingertips.

A quaint “backyard studio apartment” in a beautiful quiet neighborhood. The perfect location to explore Barton Springs and the Austin area.

The location of the Bamboo room is perfect—the Barton Springs pool was absolutely a highlight of the trip. I recommend renting bikes, biking to the neighborhood you want to explore, and then set out on foot. The hosts had great recommendations for restaurants and clubs. Overall, the trip was fantastic. We stayed for four days and could have used at least two more to see everything we wanted to.

I was here as a solo traveler, and this property is a perfect size for one. It is quite small, but since you’re only there to sleep, that’s not a huge problem. The location is terrific...near bus lines, a gorgeous park, some great restaurants and shops.

Quirky , enchanting home with lots of character. Close to EVERYthing in South Austin. Easy access by walking or bike to everything to do in the area. Will definitely come back again.

Honestly was in a great location super close to Barton Springs, Chuy's, and The Picnic -Food Trucks. Herb the host's recommendations were spot on including Elizabeth's Street Cafe for Brunch and The White Horse for evening Entertainment. And seriously you can't bet the quite of the neighborhood in the middle of Austin. Last but not least... The Coffee the Host's provided for morning coffee seriously wish I could get is delivered to my real house every morning.

Great location and great Host! The accommodations were just as pictured but surprisingly more spacious than I was expecting. Clean and convenient! Would definitely stay here again.

Loved my stay at the Bamboo Hideaway! Herb and Valentina are so warm and welcoming and made us feel like we were a part of their family. It is a cute, clean little place with everything we needed. Beds were comfy, cable TV, internet, and good coffee! Very quiet neighborhood with lots of trees. Will stay here every time I’m in Austin.
