After booking you'll be provided a link where you can purchase upgrades to your booking such as early check-in and late check-out, additional cleanings, and more that will make your Austin experience even better!

We don't charge a security deposit! Where many hosts charge over $500, and where you as the guest risk them not returning your deposit – Austin Vacay remains guest-centric by charging a one-time, non-refundable fee (already included in your booking price) which provides up to $400 of coverage towards unintentional rental property damages (subject to plan terms and conditions). This means a lower cost to book, and because accidents happen, protection against costly charges. Plan terms and conditions provided by request after booking.

Austin Vacay is proud to be able to service Austinites and travelers during these uncertain times. We have taken extra precautions to care for our guests and employees by introducing zero contact entry, enhanced cleaning protocols, and strict covering requirements for employees. We encourage our guests to review Texas and Austin’s travel guidelines and restrictions before making a reservation. We must work together to ensure a safe environment for everyone that enters our properties.

With a mix of historic charm and modern flair, the neighborhood attracts a youthful and artistic crowd, providing a vibrant urban experience. Overall, this part of Austin is a hotspot for anyone seeking to explore the heart and soul of the city's distinctive culture and lifestyle.

Scooters (Lime & Bird) as well as Lyft and Uber are the best ways to get around Austin, especially this close to everything. However, there are also a lot of public transportation options in this area (see CapMetro's website).

Clean apartment, a couple things you should know
Overall, I had a pleasant, mostly problem-free stay at this apartment in Austin. The pictures on the listing are accurate. The apartment was very clean, and well equipped with dishes, towels, cleaning supplies, and plenty of K-cups for the coffee maker. Just a couple things that potential renters should know, and the owner may want to address: - Entry into the upstairs apartment is by using the keypad on the garage door in the alley behind the house, and then going through the garage to the stairway. At the top of the stairs is another door with a keypad, which gives you entry to the apartment. This was unclear in the instructions, and I spent 40 minutes texting with the property manager to figure this out. - The entry door to the apartment actually enters directly into the bedroom. - The windows and door in the bedroom are only covered by flimsy venetian blinds that let a lot of light in, and there are several street lights or house lights shining in. Owner should probably install some room darkening curtains. I was waking up at 3AM, thinking it was daylight.

Long weekend in Austin
This is a cute little tastefully designed/decorated place that was just right for my friend and me while we spent a long weekend exploring Austin. We needed 2 beds, and one bedroom with a queen plus the couch-to-bed in the living room provided that. The couch-bed was reasonably comfortable for me, but I think others might find it too firm. There were clean sheets and pillows for the couch-bed, but the blanket for it looked either dirty or stained, hard to tell which. The kitchen is well-equipped and everything we used in it worked. Some of the dishes did not appear clean. The bathroom is nicely lit and was clean. The flap inside the toilet tank frequently did not seal after flushing, so the toilet would run until you reach into the tank and adjust the flap to seal properly, which was a little annoying. The body wash dispenser in the shower did not work, and there was no bar soap to use instead. It would be nice to have a little bench in the shower to put stuff on or to prop one's leg for shaving. All in all, it is a very nice little place in a nice neighborhood.

Sweet Stay
It was in a great location for getting to all the places we wanted to visit. My husband and I enjoyed our stay. Parking in the garage was definitely tricky to get into but we managed.

Small, Great Location, Comfortable and quiet
Great location in an interesting neighborhood in Austin - close to a lot of things and fairly easy to get to. Parking is rough (steep, small entry) but there's plenty of street parking. Interior is cozy (small) but nice - living room furniture isn't super comfortable but otherwise nice place.
