Austin Comedy Weekend

My bother and I stayed at this wonderful 100 year old bungalow in Southwest Austin during a short weekend trip. Loved the history of the house and it’s quiet neighborhood. It is walking distance to restaurants, a supermarket and just a short drive from downtown Austin. The front and back porches were purfect for lounging around after sign seeing.

Delightful bungalow in Austin

It is a delightful property with a great layout and amenities. The property is in a wonderful neighborhood with great access to various parts of the city. HEB in close by, along with Mozart Coffee Roasters on Lake Austin. It was quiet and delightful. Doug is a very responsive host and provided great assistance.

Hidden gem

This house is near everything in Austin and yet doesn't feel like you're staying in the city. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch and relaxing in the living room. There's only one bathroom and it's small, which was tricky with three people getting ready at the same time. Owner is awesome and responsive - would recommend!

DEEP EDDY DAYS

Upson Street was the ideal location for a old Austin group of friends to have a reunion celebration. My Grandparents lived in that neighborhood on 2400 block of West 10th Street. While my family lived at 2100 Forest Trail. I had cousins family lived on Stamford. We had a great reunion on Upson Street!
