My husband and I stayed at the bungalow while we found permanent housing in our move to Austin, and could not have envisioned a more cozy, comfortable place to spend our first month in the city of Austin.
The bungalow is packed with charm—an eclectic mix of original finishes and more recent updates—but further, it has all the necessities one could want on a short or longer term stay. We loved spending our evenings on the front porch and cooking together in the kitchen. I work from home and was able to use a roomy desk in the second bedroom, that can also serve as a great kids’ room.
The location truly cannot be beat. A five minute drive (or 15-20 minute walk) from Barton Springs, Town Lake, the green belt and some cute coffee shops and restaurants in South Lamar. Less than ten minutes to downtown and South Congress, and not much further to anywhere else you’d be trying to get in the city. We loved it so much that we couldn’t part with the neighborhood, and found a permanent rental right down the street!
Finally, Lauren and Chetan were phenomenal hosts. They were communicative and clear, responsive, flexible and always helpful—they made us feel right at home. When we forgot a few items at the house when we moved out, Lauren even took the time to drop them off at our new place. We really appreciated them as hosts and were grateful for their warm welcome to the neighborhood.
Also, the next door neighbors are great!
You won’t regret staying here—in fact, you may grow so attached that you won’t ever want to leave. :)
