Atomic Age
Take a trip back in time to 1940-1960 with our Atomic Age/Mid Century Modern designed apartment home. Decorated with style and class, relax while watching the 65” tv, or enjoy yourself in the private backyard.
Located in the St. Johns neighborhood in North Austin, it is conveniently located with easy access to the I-35 and 183. It is about 10 minutes from the domain, 15 mins from downtown, 18 minutes from Barton Springs and Zilker Park, and about 20 mins from the airport!
The space: During your stay, you will have easy access to the home with the keypad entry and will enjoy the convenience of self-check-in. The beautifully renovated kitchen is stocked with silverware, utensils, pots, pan, dishes, mugs, glasses, plates, and bowls. The pantry holds spices and other cooking essentials if you decide to cook during your stay. There are a dishwasher and a laundry room in the unit for use as well as an iron and ironing board! The bathroom has soaps, some bathroom essentials, and a dryer for use also.
Other things to note: Small pets under 35 lbs are welcome and in order for us to continue to be pet friendly, we’re asking you to not allow them on the furniture. It’s hard to get the smell out and we have had many complaints from non-pet owners who are sensitive or allergic to pet hair or dander. No aggressive breeds and no pets over 35 lbs allowed.
There is a private fenced yard on the property. All pets must be housebroken, and owners are responsible for picking up droppings from the yard prior to check out. We also require a $150 deposit for pets for incidentals and the reservation will have an additional $50 non-refundable cleaning fee/pet to clear pet odors and hair after your stay. Please ask all questions if you plan to have a pet(s) during your stay prior to booking.
THERE WILL BE A $250 FINE FOR THE FOLLOWING: - NOT PAYING THE PET DEPOSIT -HAVING PETS ON THE FURNITURE -HAVING AN AGGRESSIVE BREED ON THE PROPERTY -HAVING A LARGE PET IN EXCESS OF 35 LBS ON THE PROPERTY
Close by eats and things>>>>> An easy drive to both Duval Biscuits and Groovy and the very yummy The Omelettry (under 3 miles :) For a nice dinner, Contigo is fun, lively and just a short drive away. Don't forget to save time and experience an Austin gem while in town. Sahara Lounge offers unique Austin nightlife and live music (7.1 miles). Little Longhorn Saloon is another entertaining Austin hot spot offering a unique experience with Chicken-poop bingo and live music every Sunday (only 3 miles)!!! If bringing the kiddos, Thinkery is a fun and one of a kind children's museum very close by (3.8 miles)
We're available by phone throughout your stay. The best way to get ahold of me for non-urgent needs is by text.
Getting around: We recommend accounting for using rideshare to commute (Uber and Lyft are readily available here) or renting a car to fully enjoy Austin from this unit. Not a walkable area.

The only thing that was just a little inconvenient was that the only bathroom was upstairs. Not a deal breaker by any means though.

It was alright
Upon checking in the smell of the property could knock you out. There were glade plug-ins in almost every outlet and the smell was out of control. We had to take them all out of the plugs. It took 3 days to air out and then we realized why the house was filled with them. The place smelled like smoke. The bathroom was not clean and unfortunately the toilet had not been cleaned and had some remnants all over the seat. It also had a perpetual smell of pee in the bathroom no matter what. The immediate neighborhood left something to be desired. There were not many things within walking distance, which was fine, but the immediate area was not where I was spending much of my time. Overall it was fine, but not ideal for spending a nice birthday with family. We had to make sure we did everything out of the house due to the smell.
