Newish to VRBO, we look forward to sharing our little slice of heaven with you! "Best BNB ever! Cynthia and Jim were amazing! They were extremely accommodating and hospitable. They stocked the fridge and baked homemade blueberry banana bread for us when we arrived." Quiet neighborhood in the heart of the action — super close to downtown. Two blocks to Palmer Events Center. Convention Center, Terry Black’s restaurant, music venues, hike/bike trail, Lady Bird Lake, Barton Springs Pool are all nearby. Private entrance studio, massage chair, powerful rain shower, secluded screen porch. THE SPACE— My husband and I live in a bungalow home, one short block away from Barton Springs Road, in the hip and popular Bouldin Creek neighborhood which is next to downtown. We rent a bright and cheery high-ceiling 500-square-foot 1BR/BA studio with a private keyless locked entrance and shared screened-in porch surrounded by a lush garden. Registered with an operating license through the City of Austin; we absolutely love hosting and are happy to offer suggestions based on your interests. It's been a beautiful journey for us to meet so many wonderful folks that have stayed here from all over the world throughout the last 14 years! Our location is SUPER convenient; rated by Walk Score as very walkable, good transit and very bikeable. • One block to Barton Springs Road, fabulous Terry Black’s barbecue and El Alma, a fabulous interior Mexican restaurant with outdoor patio overlooking the city and happy hour seven days a week. Walking distance to lots of other great restaurants and clubs too. • Two blocks to the Palmer Events Center, Auditorium Shores, and the ten-mile-long Lady Bird Lake Hike and Bike Trail where you can visit the famous Stevie Ray Vaughn statue and watch North America's largest urban bat colony fly out from the Congress Avenue Bridge at sunset. Boat rental options available nearby for sunset bat tours and dinner cruises. • Especially great if you are coming in for SXSW or conferences. Just a few blocks or 5 minute car ride to downtown businesses, Barton Springs Pool, Zilker Park (where ACL Music Festival is held), Palmer Events Center, The Long Center, and Hyatt Hotel. • Equally close to the thoroughfares that "keep Austin weird" ... SoLa (S. Lamar Blvd.) with good restaurants and great music venues, SoFi (S. First Street) with eclectic restaurants and funky galleries and shops, and trendsetting SoCo (S. Congress Avenue) where hip shops, excellent restaurants, and the one-and-only Continental Club and C-boy's line the avenue. About the studio — eclectic Japanese-inspired decor. Perfect for two people. Relax on a fantastic reclining massage chair after a long day. Then curl up on a queen bed and drift off under luxurious high-thread count cotton bed linens with a down-alternative comforter. New bed upgrade in Jan, 2026\. Hopefully just perfect for you — not too firm, not too soft. :) Enjoy the great outdoors in comfort in a shared screened-in porch which overlooks a beautiful garden and outdoor seating area. This is also the entrance to your studio. Fresh-brewed coffee and home-baked breakfast bread or muffins will be waiting for you there! A welcome basket prepared for you with chocolates, snacks, and fresh fruit, plus a mini-fridge stocked with some of our favorite beer, OJ, yogurts, and water instantly take the edge off of a possibly long day of travel. We have devised a "HERE" and "GONE" hangtag system for your use as you come and go to insure your privacy. Having lived in Austin for 49 years, we LOVE this beautiful city and all of the incredible restaurants, musicians, nightlife, parks and nature trails, museums, and so much more. We've created a guide (available in the studio) of some of our favorite places and are happy to make additional recommendations so that you have the best experience possible.

It is just off a main road towards those locations and in the heart of a cute Austin neighborhood, so not completely quiet or dark sky conditions! Also it's very near the river (or lake as they call it) that runs through the city. Cynthia was very helpful with tips for eats and music and we scored some of her yummy banana bread. ##### Jan S.
