James’ “Granny’s House” fits the original vibe of the neighborhood. You can imagine his Granny did live there except she didn’t have the big screen tv or open floor plan. Netflix is available if you’re staying in. The club chair is gone in the L.R. but the great chaise replaces it for watching that 55”+ screen - bigger than the one in the photo.

But most of your days and nights will be spent eating breakfast at Mi Madrés or picking out lunch at Hoover’s, El Chilito, Haymaker’s, El Sapo’s, Elaine’s Pork & Pies, The School House Pub, and dinner at The Salty Sow or Eastside Cate - all to the north. To the south: Austin Press (sandwiches), and Juiceland.

We know because we are long-time residents of the neighborhood displaced by a kitchen water leak. So Granny’s place is a perfect place for us to stay while our home is being fixed.

It’s 7 blocks east of U.T. so far enough from the student vibe to keep it quieter. It’s across the street from a lovely garden owned by one of the cafes in the area. Very busy area for lunch and dinner so it’s great to have your own parking space.

James js always available for answering questions. Cozy house in a safe neighborhood with a spacious backyard and grill.
