Beautiful 1932 art-deco home, 1420 sq ft, two bedrooms with double/queen beds (third is my home-office, currently rather cluttered and not useful to guests), one [pretty spectacular] bathroom, spacious kitchen, living room, and dining room, wood floors throughout. Central A/C and heat, whole-house attic fan (nice in spring and fall, leave some windows open). Nice backyard is not fenced, quiet street **Great neighborhood that's close to everything** from state capitol downtown (22 blocks straight down funky South Congress Ave.) to the airport (15 min) and Formula 1 track (Circuit of the Americas, pleasant drive). Numerous famous restaurants and 24-hr places in walking distance -- for SXSW or ACL **could not be sweeter**, I know from experience living here since 1990! It could comfortably take two couples, more if you can sleep on cots, couch, etc. The house is usually available for short or long stays except March through May, when it is usually available only for stays of less than a week. I'm an ornithologist, work in Amazonian Brazil a lot, house is full of books and stuff related to that, please just leave it where it sits, thanks! Hablo español y falo português ;-)

    Stay was excellent. Host was clear about all the necessary instructions and has a bunch of cool books about birds!

    Everything you might possibly want including a full kitchen, great ac & all tv options (especially if you bring your own hdmi & laptop). Soft bed with really nice linens, all nestled in the most exciting location in Austin! Food, shopping, bars & live music all within easy walking distance of this interesting property. We stayed two months and give the property and the host 5 stars.

    We stayed here for the F1 race at COTA and this was a great location for seeing the sights of Austin and getting to the track! Would definitely recommend and Bret is a clear communicator and gracious home owner!

    We stayed at this property for 2.5 months and had a great time. It was the perfect size for 2 people and 2 cats. It has one large bathroom, kitchen, 2 usable bedrooms, a sitting room, and a front deck. The home is in a fantastic location with a lot to do within walking distance. It’s about a 40 min walk to downtown. Bret was a good host and left us a helpful video with information about the property. He was always available via text for any issues that came up. Would highly recommend.

    Lovely historic home. Great location, so easy to get around by car and on foot. Nice outdoor space. There were four of us in Austin for eclipse viewing, and we got an extra treat listening and watching for birds in the front and back yard.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this sweet little house. It was comfortable and clean, lots of neat things to look at, and in a great location, right around the corner from shops and restaurants. The host was helpful and responded quickly when I had questions. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you.

    The house is big enough for more people but I stayed there alone for 7 weeks. There are two bedrooms a nice bathroom with tub and shower, a nice one. The kitchen is large and other than the microwave which needs to be updated, everything was provided and worked well. Bret is a marvelous person and will take of anything you need.

    We had the best time in Austin. A whole house for ourselves, at such a splendid location. A safe and leafy neighborhood. A lot of restaurants and shops are at walking distance. The air conditioning kept us at the perfect temperature. Bret was very helpful and easygoing, we love him!

    Most rentals are investment properties with landlords. Bret hosted us in his home graciously and unobtrusively. We were grateful to get through a couple months of extreme heat in such a comfortable home.
