About the host

Hosted by Deborah + David Latimer

Host profile image
Welcome to Austin! We live in a cool vintage cottage situated right above Zilker Park in the hip and trendy Zilker neighborhood.

Die-hard Austinites from when it was a sleepy college town, my husband and I enjoy the new exciting changes in Austin because many of the activities are within walking distance.

I'm a designer/artist with my studio in our home and my husband is a writer and teaches English part-time. We love to travel, meet new people, and really enjoy being VRBO hosts and meeting our guests from all over the world.

Why they chose this property

Located in the beautiful older Zilker Neighborhood, our home was built in 1957 and it has a large addition with vaulted ceilings. We've recently remodeled our kitchen to a crisp white with all new Italian appliances and re-decorated two other rooms. The home is very cozy with two living rooms and two dining areas. It is colorful, casual, and filled with art and books.

You will feel totally at home with a lot of natural light, ample spaces together, and also with privacy. The outdoor patios are really relaxing to sit outside in the mornings or afternoons.

What makes this property unique

One of the biggest treats is that both bedrooms are equipped with Sleep Number beds so you can adjust your side of the bed to the softness you desire. The best bonus of all is that Barton Springs Pool and Zilker Park and numerous outdoor activities are right down the hill with shopping, dining, music, theatre, and more all within walking distance!
