Susana is the best VRBO host that we have ever experienced! She is obviously very detail oriented: the comfy beds, pendant lights, beautiful artwork, etc. The best part was the fantastic rooftop patio overlooking downtown Austin! An amazing panoramic view of the city!

This is our guest house. It is in a setting where guests can enjoy privacy. The Zilker neighborhood is a very interactive place where neighbors know each other, take walks, ride bikes. We want to maintain the family oriented environment and ask our guests to respect the neighborhood. No parties please.

Why they chose this property

We live in the heart of Austin, a vibrant city with much to offer. We are within walking distance of numerous restaurants, the hike and bike trails, Zilker Park (short walk to ACL!) and shopping.

The guest house is private. The best feature is the incredible downtown view.
