Photos and Description of the Austin vacation house rental
1 bedroom, 1 bath, sleeps 2-3

A spotless, super-stylish, recent greenbuild with wifi, flatscreen, in-room washer/dryer, and a soothing rain shower. Fabulous central location less than 2 miles to downtown and convenient to UT, SoCo, Barton Springs/Zilker, and pretty much everything else. Full kitchen and dining area downstairs with a huge master suite and balcony upstairs. Surrounded by majestic oaks that offer a treehouse feel. Linens, fresh sheets, local coffee, and (if needed) help getting acclimated. And we use exclusively non-toxic cleaners and detergents. Located behind a historic home in a very desirable neighborhood. Austin's three main bus lines are within one block (including late night service from downtown until 3 a.m.). Many of Austin's best restaurants, bars, and shops are in walking distance. Surrounded by 3 outstanding markets/groceries. Easy parking onsite. Nearby access to bike routes and off-street trails to downtown and through amazing parks. And we (the owners) are nearby if you need us. We even offer airport pickup!

Our Philosophy : When we visit a city, we don't want to stay in the tourist trap areas, we want to stay in the best, most vibrant neighborhoods. We wanna be close to the good stuff but away from the madness. That's what you get with our place. You'll be about 2 miles from all the action downtown, Zilker Park, the Green Belt, and SoCo, but you'll be able to come home to a peaceful, quiet setting in a real neighborhood. You can walk to three of Austin's best grocery stores to grab some fresh (often local) ingredients for dinner... or step out to one of many, many amazing nearby eateries and/or pubs. What's in the neighborhood? Austin's best BBQ (Ruby's), best Breakfast Tacos (Taco Deli), best Sushi (UchiKo), best Tex-Mex (Trudy's), best Wine Bar (VinoVino), & best Beer Pubs (Draught House & Hopfields) are all walking distance.

Best Accommodations Near Hospitals: The Maiden Lane Guesthouse is your best and most convenient option if you're coming in to be with a family member or friend hospitalized at Seton, Seton Shoal Creek, the Heart Hospital, St. David's, or Brackenridge. Our peaceful, comfortable loft is priced competitively with the lackluster chain hotels out on the highway. This is a complete apartment in a desirable residential area. Here you can save money by cooking dinner in the fully-equipped kitchen, you have plenty of free parking, and there's room to get family together, get some work done, or just stretch out and relax for a bit under the shady oak trees.

We loved our stay here! The open-spaced loft was very comfortable and was tastefully decorated. The location is within walking distance to some our favorite places in Austin (Central Market, Amy's Ice Cream, and Uchiko). The owner's were friendly and very accommodating. Would stay here again with no reservations.
Owner's Response: It was great meeting your family! Thanks so much for your kind words! Come again anytime!!

Perfect place for the in-laws!

5 of 5
Submitted: February 12, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
My Italian in-laws came to visit us in Austin a little bit over a year ago (Jan 2012). It was their first time in the US and they thoroughly enjoyed their time here in Austin and at the Maiden Lane Guesthouse. The space was absolutely perfect for them and the location ideal. I loved the modern vintage decor and daydreamed of moving into the place on a permanent basis myself :) My in-laws didn't have a car and were left to their own devices while my husband and I were at work, but with Central Market right across the street and a few bus routes within walking distance, they were able to get around town without any problems. The surrounding neighborhoods of Hyde Park and Rosedale are some of my favorite parts of town (also extremely safe), so I was thrilled to find this guesthouse in the middle of it all. I'm sorry for the super late review, but wanted to finally get around to thanking the owners who couldn't be kinder or more responsive.

A Good Choice

The house was as described on the website. It had the comforts of home, is centrally located and quiet. The main freeways (1 and 35) were minutes away. A walking park is across the street and grocery stories and eateries were within walking distance. The hosts are gracious and aim to please. We recommend this highly and would rent it in the future.
