Quiet getaway near South Congress, Lady Bird Lake and downtown Austin

Nestled between three Live Oaks, this beautiful private getaway in the Travis Heights neighborhood near South Congress and Lady Bird Lake is close to everything but secluded enough to get away from it all.

The private, stand alone apartment features hardwood floors, dual zone AC and heat and a private bedroom with a comfortable King-sized bed, walk-in closet and a well-lit bathroom with walk-in shower. A work nook in the living room includes a full-size desk and ample natural light.

Located on a quiet residential street within walking distance to Downtown, SoCo and Rainey Street. While a car isn't necessary, street parking in front is always available.

Great location

We had a great stay with John in his South Congress location. It was so easy to get downtown, whether you walk it, via Lady Bird Lake walkover located right outside of his neighborhood. The apartment was very clean and ready for the unexpected cold weather that we woke up to on our first night. The bed was comfortable. We made breakfast every morning and found street parking every night we were there. The washer and dryer was the very nice to have and made our decision to stay here this trip and our next one. See you next time John

Austin Film Festival Stay

Beautiful quiet residential neighborhood with easy access to downtown Austin by bus, Uber/Lyft, or walking. We Appreciated the bottled water, coffee, and shower essentials. Found an amazing NYC eyeglass place Moscot within short walk, along with other upscale shops like Hermes. Everything was perfect. Thank you!

Great Location!

The unit is above a detached garage and is the perfect size for 1-2 people. Laundry is in the garage below the unit. I didnt cook anything on this trip but the kitchen seemed functional. The close proximity to south congress and downtown while feeling like you are in a quiet neighborhood is the best part.

Great trip!

The apartment was perfect for our needs. Kitchen stocked with basics, comfortable seating and bed. Location was ideal, within walking distance to South Congress. Owner was very responsive. The only thing that could improve this property would be more counter space in the bathroom. Would definitely book this place again.
