Excellent view in Zilker neighborhood

The property is as described, clean and close to everything in South Austin. The host was quickly responsive and helpful on any questions and despite living on the property as well, remained non-intrusive. Perfect spot!!!

Long weekend in Austin

Very nice, private unit near restaurants and activities in Austin. The view was terrific from the second floor. The kitchen was well appointed. The king size bed was comfortable. Susana allowed us to park in her carport and was very organized. The unit was nicely decorated and the rain shower was great. We walked down to the river and along the trail system. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you Susana!

Home away from Home

We stayed at this great property as working artists at the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar. We have stayed at several in the past and this is by far the very best. Location is perfect, clean and homie with all amenities. The bed was very comfy after a long work day. We happen to mention that it would be nice to have a smart TV and within days Susana had replaced both televisions with smart TVs. This will definitely be our Austin spot from now on!!

This is our guest house. It is in a setting where guests can enjoy privacy. The Zilker neighborhood is a very interactive place where neighbors know each other, take walks, ride bikes. We want to maintain the family oriented environment and ask our guests to respect the neighborhood. No parties please.

Why they chose this property

We live in the heart of Austin, a vibrant city with much to offer. We are within walking distance of numerous restaurants, the hike and bike trails, Zilker Park (short walk to ACL!) and shopping.
