Beautiful Stay In a Great Location

Easy to check in, great appliances, clean, smartly decorated, and fun to say you’re staying in a shipping container. Owner was very quick to respond. The patio makes for a great spot to soak up the sun. I will be staying here during my next visit to Austin.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this property for a concert happening same day, and it was the perfect place to rest after seeing the show. Very close to amazing food and bars, owners of the property worked with us last minute when we had an issue with a sitter, very happy and would stay again.

Grand Stay for the Grand Prix

My wife and so stayed here when in town for the US Grand Prix. The space was perfect for an on-the-go weekend and had everything we needed. It’s located just outside of downtown in a great neighborhood with a zillion amazing food options nearby. It was also a quick drive to the bus station we used to go back and forth to the Grand Prix. Highly recommend!

Cute container Experience

This little container was very cozy to stay in for two people. It was very clean when we got there. The only things I would have to say that could be improved on is the showerhead because very little water comes out. But overall, it’s very close to many popular things in Austin, Texas!

I've always wanted to try a "tiny house" and this was super fun. It was bigger than I expected. Plenty of room for 1-2 people. With a few tweaks it would be perfect.

Unique Space - Centrally Located

This was a last minute booking when my husband and I needed a place to stay for a night in Austin. The space was perfect for us - much larger than we expected, very private, really cool decor, and centrally located to all the main Austin attractions. Loved the off-street parking, great communication with host, and deck to sit and enjoy a glass of wine. Would not hesitate to rebook. Highly recommend!

Small space with BIG personality

This home was just the right size for two people! We enjoyed the privacy of the home tucked back into the yard. It was decorated so thoughtfully and it had all the accommodations you would need for a home away from home. It was very clean and the location was the best part! Only an 8 minute ride to 6th street and 10 minutes to south congress. Great restaurants located near by as well! Great place to stay for couples wanting to get away!
