This was perfect for my 3-day stay in Austin. Quiet neighborhood and very clean accommodations.

SXSW can be an exhausting event with 10 to 13 hour days for 8 days straight. The 8 days flew by staying in this suite. Staying in a hotel just cannot meet travellors needs for this type of travel - this property on the other hand did meet our needs on every level. Excellent hosts. Very attentive. Available at all hours. Easy booking. Cute place as could be. Historic old home - very charming suite we stayed in. The hosts welcomed us with cold local beers in the fridge in our kitchen. The property was quiet. It was a slow easy 21 minutes walk to dead centre 6th street action and 26 minutes slow walk to the Convention Centre for SXSW. The capital is just a few blocks away. There were several great restaurants near by - really liked Phoebes - a 2 block walk away - and 24, another breakfast/lunch place 7 blocks away next to an amazing record store. Awesome food at these. Waltons was good too. There are two coffee shops with 5 minutes walk. I recommend the one near the capital on 12th street. Our hosts had a red book of useful information with every restaurant, area, neighbourhood, you need to know about. It was indispensable. I really liked all the nice old homes in the area, the trees, totally safe, etc. It was nice to escape the non stop party of SXSW vs being trapped in a hotel. Thanks again for a great time!

We enjoyed a memorable 3-day stay at this historic home a few blocks away from the State Capitol. Arrangements were seamless, and Ted, the host, was helpful and full of information. Lots of museums, shops and restaurants within a 10 to 20-min walk.

We loved our bungalow. 4 blocks from the capitol…easy walk to everything. Bungalow was clean, comfortable. We stayed 2 weeks and loved every minute of it. We plan to return.

Walkable to everything and in a very quiet neighborhood. Communication with the host was seamless. Note the steps up/down from kitchen and bathroom into the main space for those that might find this an issue. No thermostat but this was not a problem; we were always perfectly comfortable. There is a ceiling fan and window A/C unit. We would stay here again. Lovely!

We very much enjoyed our stay at your darling historical home. Sweetwater coffee shop was an added bonus right down the street. Would have loved a pillow topper for the bed as it was pretty firm. We had a great stay—thank you!

This place was a perfect spot for weekend getaway in Austin. I traveled solo and the house was a good fit as I didn't need an entire kitchen. The location is perfect for heading out the door and walking Austin. The backyard has beautiful trees to gaze at while sipping on coffee on the patio. The historic home and neighborhood are beautiful. I felt very safe.
I’ll be back .

The suite is so lovely, you feel at home immediately. It's exactly as it's represented in the pics.

Ted and Janelle communicate exceptionally well, and are a delight to deal with.

We enjoyed the Texas decor & downtown location. Very quiet though. Uber to 6th street is easy & cheap. Was surprised no AC thermostat but we were always comfortable in spite of heat wave. Lots of books! Loved that too. The oaks overhead & birds were a treat.

My wife and I stayed at 11 Oaks and it was wonderful. The location is ideal if you want to walk and explore the city. Most things are in walking distance. We enjoyed the historic aspect of the home and the coziness of it. The place was clean and very accommodating. We will definitely book it again. Hosts were very kind. Courtyard was beautiful too!!!

Quaint and cozy property. Perfect for a little couples getaway. Only complaint is there was cat hair on the bed, but we’re cat owners so it wasn’t too big of a deal. We’d be happy to stay here again!

We loved our stay here! It was in a great location..walking distances to some places or just a short Uber right around $5 to popular spots. It was clean and comfortable. We loved the little outside area. Check-in was seamless and great communication when needed. Would stay again!!

If you have 2 people looking for a perfect spot to stay while in Austin, this is it! The property is located in a secure spot surrounded by beautiful trees and a courtyard. You wouldn’t even realize that you are in the city. Owners were great to communicate with leading up to my stay. Everything is in walking distance. Can’t wait to come back to this gem.

It was clean and had a great patio space in front. A little further from downtown than I would have liked but we just used uber. There are 2 sets of stairs (only 2 steps each) but I’m a tripper so keep that in mind.

We liked the property and it was nicely located for our needs. We walked and used the excellent Austin bus service. We felt safe. My only regret is that the lighting inside the unit could be a bit brighter. Otherwise it was an almost 5 star experience.

So much to see & do, the location is awesome. Small but has everything you need and super clean. First time to Austin, I have to get back, super fun. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

Everything was as advertised! The room had all the basics and necessities. I had a long flight in and was not thinking clearly, so it took me a minute to figure out we needed to enter from the back alley - no entry from 11th street. One thing I didn't see noted in other reviews is that you can smell whatever anyone is cooking in the main house. Not a dealbreaker but something to be aware of if anyone browsing is sensitive to food smells. I'm glad we found this place for our short stay.

Exceptional experience!

This was the perfect little place for my hubby and me during our stay in Austin. Ted was immediately responsive when we needed something fixed. The courtyard is lovely and relaxing. Short walk to 6th street, short walk to a Phoebe’s diner for great breakfast. A guide to some great Austin places was provided by the hosts. I would definitely stay here again. I really loved it and can’t recommend it enough!

This property is perfect for a visit to Austin. It was exactly as depicted and even more spacious than I expected. The onsite parking was a huge benefit as the property is very close to the UT-Austin campus and the state capitol building. The shade trees and beautiful courtyard were delightful. The check-in and check-out systems were easy to understand and worked flawlessly. I highly recommend this property for a single occupant or a couple. Hope to return soon!

This apartment was ideal for the 2 of us and perfectly located to lots of exciting things to see and do. The apartment was super clean and the bed was really comfy and the location was the best. Phoebe's diner was just 2 blocks away so perfect for walking to breakfast in the morning. Loved our stay here and Ted our host was great. Thanks Ted !

Janelle and Ted are terrific hosts. Communication was timely and most helpful. The check-in process is easy to follow. Their historic guest suite has everything you'd want. Comfy bed, nicely appointed kitchenette and bathroom, private entrance, lots of Austin literature, and convenient, free parking. Plus, the location can't be beat. It's within walking distance of downtown in a lovely, neighborhood shaded by a canopy of centuries old trees. I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay!
