Colorful and Cozy★King Bed ★Near UT, Domain, Downtown
This charming second-story apartment is completely separate from our home and boasts a bedroom with king-size bed, a projector with access to Hulu and Netflix, and laundry. The smart lock allows for self-check-in, and the HVAC is self-contained, so you don't share air with us. It is walking distance to a small grocery store and the area has great dining and take-out options.
The apartment is over the detached garage behind our house. It was built primarily for our parents and friends to stay for visits, but when they're not around, we love to host new people! At around 425 square feet, with a living area and separate bedroom, it is very comfortable for two people to stay. There is also a full-size Murphy bed in the living room that is perfect for an extra person or for a couple of kids. The living room can also be set up as a work space if desired, with a table and computer chair (this is not compatible with the Murphy bed, but doesn't impede using the couch and projector).
The apartment has a projector in the living room for TV and movies and a TV in the bedroom, as well. Both have access to our Netflix and Hulu accounts. The bedroom has plentiful storage and a balcony, perfect for sipping your morning coffee. The kitchenette does not have a stove, but does have everything you need for your morning coffee, a light breakfast or snacks, and drinks. The bathroom has a walk-in shower and plentiful towels. We provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and a hair dryer. The washer and dryer in the hallway are also available for your use. For rainy days, we have books and games for your enjoyment.
We do have both a dog (a shih tzu) and a tween. You may see Worf chasing squirrels in the backyard or greeting you at the gate (he's the dog). He won't try to run away when you open the gate, but he will try to move into the apartment with you! You may also see Ash (the kiddo) in his treehouse or running around the yard. He may also greet you at the gate and try to move in with you. No need to let either one into your living space, but please be tolerant of them while they're in the yard.
For your safety and ours, we have a security camera that records the steps up to the apartment. This property is also non-smoking and no drugs. If you do choose to disable the cameras, smoke, or partake in illegal substances, your reservation will be canceled immediately, with no refund.
This property is being operated under Austin STR permit OL-2016 148737

This place is fantastic. The hosts were so considerate in the design and execution of the space. The decor is bright, charming and very well coordinated. The layout is so clever!
My family of four was comfortable. They even have board games for a fun night in. The kitchenette has everything you would need to prepare a meal.
The neighborhood is quiet with tree lined streets but just a short drive to downtown. Also, it is a short walk to a charming shopping center with great local offerings that feels like authentic Austin.
Comfy beds and pillows. Plush towels.
There is an adorable balcony off of the bedroom where you can sip coffee and read the paper or work on your laptop (good wifi).
I can't say enough good things about this place!
This charming place is immaculate and homey. Everything you might as a traveler was on hand. The pictures don’t do the apartment justice. Even in stunningly hot weather I was comfortable inside. I highly recommend it and will be staying again. Miriam is very warm and accommodating❤️
I rented this property for my mother-in-law and teenage niece who were visiting from California. Everything about it was wonderful! I loved the way it was decorated. It seemed to have everything one could need plus many special touches. It’s also just a short walk to a store and a pizza/sandwich shop. My family said that they slept very well there. Miriam was a joy to communicate with before the stay. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Our stay at this pleasant Crestview apartment was wonderful. The hosts were so accommodating especially with adding little touches like welcome snacks and even extra toiletries in case you forgot. Everything was well arranged and extra clean, instructions provided for anything you might require and the quiet balcony was an extra nice touch. Highly recommend.
I enjoyed a quiet weekend in Austin near my grandchildren in this cozy and well designed guest quarters. My needs were met in every way.

About the host
Hosted by Miriam and Brendan Hill
We are two midwest transplants to Texas and one little almost-native Texan. We fell in love with Austin during grad school and left but were pulled back to the city by the wonderful food, people, and culture.
Why they chose this property
We love living in Crestview, with its Mayberry-like feel and the great restaurants we're surrounded by. We rarely go anywhere without running into a friend, and if you stay here for long, it will be the same for you! After living here a few years, we built the apartment for our parents to stay in when they visit, and enjoy hosting visitors when they are not around.
What makes this property unique
Staying in Crestview gives you the opportunity to experience a true Austin experience, while still having easy access via car, bus, or light rail to downtown, the University of Texas, the Domain, and almost anything else you may want to get to.
