Urban Cottage. Walkable. Sweet Spring Stay

Our modern/industrial cottage is a one bedroom home on a cute corner with a creek.. The living room, open to kitchen, has a easy to maneuver pull out sectional. The small bathroom is completely updated with beautiful tile. We offer a vanity area for getting ready to go out! The open kitchen has anything you would need to prepare a full meal ! We leave coffee, creamer and a wonderful welcome basket.
The house is set on a busy street, but it is on a deep lot and overlooks a creek bed. A unique find in Austin.

What is a MUST do in Austin? We love Barton Springs (especially in warmer months). South Congress has so much in a close proximity. Park close to Jo’s Coffee and stroll from there (shopping, cafes, music!). Vera Cruz tacos are really the best Austin has! Our Capital is gorgeous and very worrth a drive by!
