About this property

Urban East Austin Escape

Welcome to our thoughtfully designed 220 sqft East Austin loft — a cozy, stylish space perfect for two, but able to sleep up to four comfortably. Tucked just 15 feet behind the main house (each with its own private entrance), this standalone unit gives you both privacy and unbeatable walkability in one of Austin’s most vibrant neighborhoods.

Please note: the loft is accessed via an outdoor staircase, and inside the unit there’s also a sleeping loft (yes — a loft within a loft!) that’s accessible by ladder. We like to clarify that in advance, since the double-loft setup can be a little confusing at first. Also, while you’ll have your own space, the front house may be occupied by other guests. That said, we enforce quiet hours between 9PM and 9AM to keep things peaceful for everyone.

Bed Configuration
We offer three memory foam beds that comfortably sleep up to 4 guests:

- Twin daybed (sleeps 1)
- Twin trundle (rolls out from under the daybed)
- Queen mattress in the loft (accessible by ladder)

The space is thoughtfully laid out with a compact kitchenette featuring quartz countertops, a portable induction cooktop, microwave, mini-fridge, and a Fellow Aiden automated pour-over machine — giving you barista-level coffee at the push of a button. A 50" swiveling 4K smart TV includes Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN for easy streaming from anywhere in the room.

The bathroom is stocked with Dove shampoo, conditioner, body wash, makeup-removal cloths, a hair dryer, and a steamer or iron to help keep your wardrobe fresh. You'll also find cards, games, and a QR code linking to our personalized local recs — no need to waste time scrolling through generic guides.

Location-wise, you're in the heart of East Austin — walkable to top spots like Franklin BBQ, Canje, Intero, Scoot Inn, White Horse, Hotel Vegas, and more. Whole Foods and Target are just blocks away, and the Saltillo Metro Station is nearby for easy access to Q2 Stadium. The Austin Convention Center is a quick 3-minute drive or a 15-minute walk.

While the loft is cooled with a dedicated air duct from our AC unit and extra fans, please note that the sleeping loft area can get warmer than the main floor — especially on Austin’s 90°+ summer days. We do everything we can to keep it comfortable, but heat does rise, so it’s something to consider if you’re sensitive to warmer sleeping conditions.

We’re a small, hands-on team (not a big management company), so you’ll have direct, responsive communication throughout your stay — whether you need a flexible check-in or a great last-minute taco spot.

Need more space? Ask about booking the main house or neighboring units — we can host up to 38 guests total.

No smoking or parties. Respect for the neighborhood is key — if we receive a complaint, we’ll issue one warning before applying a fee.
