Fast check-in & out. Great central location for "crashing & dashing," but this serene home entices you to stay and chill. I schedule at least two days and thoroughly disinfect between guests, including door/ cabinet handles, stair rails, light switches, appliance handles/knobs and TV remotes. Beds are hotel-style "triple sheeted" and laundered with bleach. Mattresses and pillows are cased in covers that are water, allergen, dust, bed bug, and mite proof. The space Great central hub location. Close to all freeways, minutes to Domain, Tech Ridge, Arboretum, UT. Easy airport drive. Ubers arrive in 2-3 minutes. Details like umbrellas, first aid/sewing kits, stationery, beach towels, shopping bags. Easy check-in with August smartlock. Guest access Entire house, including laundry. Backyard. If you need something, just ask. Other things to note This versatile, comfortable home is perfect for relaxing family time. Or crash quarters for a traveling work team on a temporary project. If you're tired of bewildering artwork or unsettling clutter, this is your home! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 1,800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109040000/109033700/109033619/6f516e30.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Designer Home, Sleep 8, Ask us about FREE add-ons North Austin Civic Association - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.0 Wonderful 4 reviews CA $192 CA $487 total includes taxes & fees Nov 5 - Nov 6 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=109033619&PinnedHotelID=109033619&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Microwave, oven, stovetop, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103500000/103498000/103497906/8d387967.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Updated Home Near Brentwood Park North Central Austin - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-13&endDate=2025-11-14&selected=103497906&PinnedHotelID=103497906&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93010000/93005000/93004909/660903ef.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stylish + Modern 4-bedroom, 10 minutes to Downtown North Central Austin - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 13 reviews CA $315 CA $818 total includes taxes & fees Nov 20 - Nov 21 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=93004909&PinnedHotelID=93004909&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70310000/70303900/70303819/185c20e0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Tech Home!
