Bright-Lit Loft in the Trees, Minutes to Lake & Restaurants

Wake up to natural light and play music on a stereo while you enjoy your morning coffee. Go for a run by the town lake trail and enjoy the emerging dining scene in East Austin. Get around with an easy uber/scooter ride or enjoy free street parking. Proceeds from this property contributes to Texas wind energy and the Trail Foundation. This is a brand new loft space built as a garage apartment on the 2nd floor. Its large windows overlooks our neighborhood with lot of big trees and the historic moon tower. There are 3 beds in total - 1 queen in the bedroom downstairs, and 2 twin beds in the loft space that is accessible by climbing up the ladder. Soft sheets and plenty of towels available for your use. The space has a fully equipped kitchen with french press, electric kettle, and basic cooking essentials. Iron, hair dryer and curling iron get you ready for your conference or night out. Washer/dryer there to dry those swim suits after a last swim at Barton Springs before flying home. If you have kids, we have kids stuff you can borrow (upon request). Message me ahead of time if you need or have questions about something specific. We live in the front house on the same property; so we're a text/call/sometimes steps away if you have questions or need help. Even though it's on the same property, the space has a completely separate private entrance. The location is what most guests love above the space (based on all the reviews!) We are mins away from the best (in our opinions) Texas BBQ and breakfast tacos in Austin; a hip convenient store (Quickie Pickie) to grab your morning coffee, a drink for happy hour, or late night snacks; and a hike and bike trail by the lake for your morning run. We are about a $5-7 Uber/Lyft ride to downtown and Austin Convention Center. Check out our guidebook for all our recommendations! If you're looking for a budget version, check out our downstairs unit: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/19243254 No washer/dryer, smaller, but same superb location. Everything that's in the space. As much or as little as you want! The loft is in the East Austin Holly neighborhood. It's walking distance to the hike and bike trail by the lake, a few restaurants, and a corner store just two blocks away. Beyond Uber/Lyft, there are also a number of dockless bikes/scooters options available to easily get around. Our place is walking distance to tons of restaurants, bars, and cafes. We're minutes away from East Cesar Chavez, Rainey St, and the Town Lake Trail. We have several bike/scooter sharing options in Austin - all of which are very accessible by our location: - B-cycle (docked bikes at station) - Pace (dockless bikes) - Jump (dockless pedal-assist electric bikes) - Lime (dockless scooters) If you need to go further, there are ride share services such as Lyft and Ride Austin. You can also rent a car by the minute and drop it off at your destination with car2go. If you don't already have a car2go membership, you'll need to register ahead of time and pick up a card from them in order to unlock the car. There's a keypad lock so checking in and out should be a breeze!

I travel often but regularly stay in the back house on the property. I love getting to know guests and if our paths cross I look forward to talking with you. Central East Austin is a diverse and dynamic neighborhood that is just a few minutes from downtown and yet still quiet. In addition to offering of some of Austin's best restaurants and music venues, it also has important history to explore. In the last century, highway 35 was a tool of segregation, with east (of 35) Austin providing a rich community for African Americans. See how this history lives on through a plethora of old and new businesses is this burgeoning neighborhood! There is a parking spot that you are welcome to use directly in front of the house and there is also plenty of street parking with no permitting or street cleaning concerns. The closest B-Cycle station is a 15 minute walk away at Victory Grill on 11th St. Many of the 6th St restaurants and bars are a 10 minute walk as well. If you would prefer not to walk, there are a selection of ride share services such as RideAustin (our favorite), Lyft, or Uber. The street has two names, Hamilton Ave and Richard Overton Ave. Depending on your map source you may see either one pop up. Richard Overton is the oldest living American and American World War II veteran at 112 years of age. He lives down the block where be bought a house after the war ended.
