The Porch at the Station was perfect for my stay! I was in town for a wedding and had to work during the day, and this was perfect for having a small kitchen, a great working space, and a big bathroom to get ready. They even had an iron and ironing board which was a lifesaver!
It was cold the week I was there, and the host was super thoughtful and sent over instructions for heating in different rooms (not typical for Austin!).
There is an empty lot with cool graffiti to park in next to the location - at first glance it looks like it could be a little sketch, but I stayed there as a woman alone and it was great and nothing that made me nervous. Easy walking distance to Fleet Coffee in the morning and of course it is right next to a cool food truck (and Lazarus Brewing and Kitty Cohen's in the evening)!
This is a great place to enjoy Austin's East Side :)
