The Downtown 7th St Penthouse is located in downtown's 'Old West' Austin, in what was Austin's original automobile suburb. The downtown adventure begins here, and extends eastward (one block away, on 6th street), to Red River, and even east of that - into Austin's hip new East Side.

It's what we call, 'the best downtown'! Shop at Whole Foods, Waterloo Records, Anthropologie, Chico's, 24, Amy's Ice Cream, and much more within a 2 block radius. Have direct access to various dining experiences, unique Austin shopping, live music venues, bicycle shops, nearby parks and more. Also, if your needs or desires must take you across the city, your capital metro bus is only a 0.17 mile walk, and the metro rail is just 1.3 miles from your door.

On top of being the ideal home in the center of it all, your penthouse is also strategically placed between most of Austin's other attractions. So, you can choose to experience Zilker Park, south austin, 'Soco', walk to the Convention Center, or check out the Congress bridge bats. Or, you could decide to head up north, to watch the sunset from Mount Bonnell, or go shopping at 'The Drag' (the University of Texas shopping district and live music strip). The choice is yours.

What a wonderful Place

5 of 5
Submitted: April 30, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
We stayed at the penthouse for our recent visit to Austin. The unit was fantastic. The location could not have been better. We could walk to almost all of the great places for dinner and night life (including all of 6th street). The unit is as beautiful as it looks in the pictures. We could not have asked for better accommodations. The owner was great to work with. When we come back to Austin, we will certainly try our best to stay here again. If you are looking for quite and luxurious accommodations, this is the place for you.
Owner's Response: Thanks, Ray! The door is always open to you and yours. We hope to see you again soon.

perfect location in Austin!!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 4, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
We loved staying at the condo. It was beautifully furnished and truly a perfect location! We are a family of 4 and it was just the right size for us. The Vacation Cake group made it easy for us and helped us right away if we needed anything.
We could walk to many of Austin's best restaurants and were close by Whole Foods, Amy's Ice Cream and great shopping.

The beds were super comfy and sheets and towels super clean. We would highly recommend this property!!
