Great Stay in West Austin

This property was the perfect little getaway stay. Close to dining and retail, the stay is located in a very walkable area with beautiful homes and quiet residential streets while still close to downtown and campus areas. The hosts were friendly, responsive, and great to work with, too! This VRBO is definitely on my list of return stays!

Another Wonderful Stay!

Once again, my wife and I stay at the nice Tarrytown garage apartment during our recent stay in Austin. The apartment's layout is very functional and the its location for us cannot be beat, as its close to my parents, in a wonderful and safe neighborhood and in very close proximity to several nice restaurants and the Lady Bird Lake Hike & Bike Trail. We'll be back!

Great location with all the essentials!

My girlfriend and I were in town visiting the race track for a weekend. We were surprised at how beautiful the neighborhood was and loved the ease of travel in and around the city. The place looks bigger in person and we appreciated the fully stocked kitchen, bathroom, cold A/C, strong shower pressure, and the generous amount of clean towels ready to go. You can tell that the hosts truly think through all the details in terms of what is needed for a visit to such a great city. Highly recommend this stay!

Cozy Studio in Lovely Neighborhood

We spent 4 nights in Austin to see the eclipse. Stephanie went above and beyond to make our stay the best. She offered us tickets to a viewing event and also recommended an art installation which we were very sorry we couldn't get to. I have back problems and I spotted a chair that would make me more comfortable. As soon as I asked about, it was outside the door of our studio. The bed was comfortable and the night was quiet. There is a marina nearby and and a grouping of restaurants where we had a good dinner. There is a coffee shop there with a terrific collection of desserts. Stephanie helped us explore various locations for the eclipse and made us feel welcome. The kitchen is very small, but for 4 days it worked for us. Thanks for a great stay for our first time in Austin. Nancy and Chris

Great stay in Austin

My husband an I were looking to stay near our daughter and grandkids who were also staying in Tarrytown. This is a lovely neighborhood just west of downtown Austin. We loved being away from the crowds of Austin. We arrived late and was impressed by the motion sensor lights to light the way up to the apartment. It is a spacious apartment with all that is necessary for a short stay, including great coffee. The bed is very comfortable and we enjoyed the sectional area. Stephanie was a great host and was easy to communicate withand very helpful.

What makes this property unique

We are centrally located in a quiet neighborhood with huge beautiful trees lining the streets, a quick walk to Lake Austin, on a biking trail that leads to Zilker Park, across from a beautiful municipal golf course, and only a few miles (5-10 minutes depending on traffic) from UT, downtown, and Zilker Park. Our neighborhood is an oasis with easy and fast access to the exciting offerings of Austin!
