    The open living area makes it easy to sit together after a long Austin day — whether you’re sharing takeout from Chicon Street or cooking in the fully equipped gourmet kitchen.

    At the same time, the bedroom layout gives everyone privacy when they need it.

    The large fenced yard (shared with the neighboring unit) gives extra breathing room — especially helpful for families.

    ✹Clear Expectations = Smooth Stays

    We’re upfront because transparency builds trust:

    • This is not a party house.
    • We welcome respectful guests who will enjoy Austin while being mindful of neighbors.
    • A short rental agreement is required after booking.
    • A refundable $300 security deposit is collected and fully returned after checkout when house rules are followed.
    No surprises — just clarity.

    ✹Support You Can Count On

    If anything comes up during your stay, we’re available 24/7. You won’t feel left figuring things out on your own.
    We want you to feel confident booking — and comfortable from the moment you walk through the door.

    Unit 1 is on the left side of the building.

    If you’re looking for a clean, spacious, well-located home where your group can truly settle in and enjoy Austin — we’d be happy to host you.
