Mariposa B | Bright Stay + Sleeps 5 & Patio
Summary: Spread your wings inside this sunny duplex. Travis Heights, Austin | Charming Vintage Home | Nightly Rental | 750 Sq. Ft. | Sleeps 5 The Mariposa Wing-B has been through a beautiful metamorphosis with modern updates, cheerful decor, and a central Austin neighborhood that offers an eclectic, vibrant mix of people and places. Be sure and check out the other half of this adorable specimen, Wing-A, if more space is needed!
The Space: We love a good transformation. Wing-B was recently renovated while maintaining the charm and character so popular in one of Austin's first neighborhoods: Travis Heights. We’ve added modern furnishings, flooring, tile, bedding, decor, and a bathroom design we can't stop staring at!
The adorable jewel box of a bathroom is shared by two bedrooms. The main bedroom has a king bed, while the second bedroom has 2 XL full beds.
Outside, you can enjoy relaxing on the patio and lawn, or head to the shared backyard for even more space.
Travis Heights is very walkable, but we do recommend a car to be able to explore all the great places nearby. This historic neighborhood located east of South Congress (SoCo) and west of I-35 has become one of Austin's most interesting locations to live and visit. Many of the historic area homes have been lovingly restored, and great restaurants have popped up along nearby South Congress.

Fabulous Long-term stay
We spent 5 weeks here working remotely and checking out the area. We have been traveling the country for about 8 months. This is our most favorite stay. We LOVED the neighborhood. It is about a 20 minute walk to the hike and bike and also about 20 min walk to S. Congress. Close to everything but quiet and safe neighborhood.
We also loved the property. It was very comfortable for my husband and me to work remotely. One of adult kids visited for a week and there was plenty of room. We also rented the adjoining duplex for a week over Christmas when the rest of our kids came. That was equally cute, well appointed and well maintained.
We would defiintely stay again.

So cute!
This is a great rental for a small group. I traveled with a friend - so we each took one bedroom - we both remarked how comfortable the mattresses were. The neighborhood is very charming. We enjoyed walking to SoCo each day and it's a short ride share to every other part of town.
