A Little Slice of Heaven

This guesthouse is a diamond in the rough. Conveniently located just minutes from UT Stadium and all the downtown sites and activities, the guesthouse is nestled away in a quiet neighborhood enjoying urban renewal. This home (and many nearby) feature modern design and green living.

From the moment we entered the gate we were greeted by a lovely patio and garden featuring native Texas plants & shrubs, recycled glass pebble walkways, and a table & chairs perfect for morning coffee. Inside the guesthouse we were surrounded by luxury and Texas charm! High end finishes throughout, deluxe large slate tile shower, and red leather sofa and loveseat work perfectly with the Texas sized king bed! The host has thought of every detail including ipod dock and wireless internet, coffee grinder, and more!

Our favorite things are the touches of Austin music history which include vintage framed album art and concert posters from nearly 30 years of The Home of Live Music which is Austin. Helpful guides and information are supplied as well, maps and attraction listings, even coupons for special events! Perfect for your Austin getaway!

Perfect!!! My nephew and I stayed for only 2 days , but could have stayed much longer - great bed- everything was brand new. Very convenient to the Erwin center - we were there for a basketball tourney and will be back!! Thanks Leslie.

Leslie,
You are a wonderful host! Your help with music choices and restaurants was great.
Thank you for having such a comfortable studio apartment. We stayed 10 days and were very happy. We will definitely come again soon if for no other reason than to have the companionship of Lila and Miss Pickles. They were a great substitute for our cat that we always miss.

Our first trip to Austin was a great one as we felt the excitement of the city, yet a very comfortable and cozy feel in this great little place. We had the perfect amount of space for my husband and I and our large dog, Sasha. Leslie (the owner) provides a very accurate description of the place. It really is as great as the pictures show! The yard was fenced for Sasha to run around in, as well, which was relieving to not feel like we had to take her everywhere with us. I don't know which was our favorite part: the trampoline, the great kitchen, the very comfortable king bed, or the great large (and gorgeous) shower! Or maybe it was just Leslie's great touch of giving you the "lowdown" on all the great restaurants and places to see in the books she provides (including a homemade notebook of menus, maps, brochures, etc)! We'll be going back as often as we get a chance!

Great spot for an Austin vacation! Quiet, private, clean
and well-appointed. A nice home away from home.

We so enjoyed our stay in Leslie's guest house, and our two small dogs did too. It's beautifully designed, fully equipped and very user friendly. And yes, it is very close to all the action in Austin. And Leslie has put together a wonderful collection of visitor resources -- menus from popular restaurants and other places to go. We love the place and we will be back. Thanks for having us...

Visited: 1st weekend of Dec, 08...Great experience! I have stayed many VRBO's in places like Vail, Breckenridge, Tahoe, Big Sky, Chicago, and South Beach. Honestly, this was one of my favorites. In fact, this is the first comment I have ever posted for a VRBO owner, that's how great it was.

If you are a couple and want a cozy place to stay, you've found it. Stop looking and start planning your activities for the trip! The unit was built last summer, and is very clean. Leslie used top-quality materials from the floors to the fixtures. The tv swivels and can be seen anywhere...I even kept watching the football game from the shower! The kitchen is clean and modern. But best of all is the bed...I bet you will like it more than your own!

Take my advice, STOP LOOKING! You will be glad you did!!!

Our weekend stay at Leslie's guest house was very enjoyable. The home is comfortable and unique, and only an $8 cab ride from sixth street! We both really enjoyed the surround sound and slate shower as well! Leslie was a terrific host - I left my cell phone charger and she mailed it right back away. We will definitely stay again and would encourage anyone else who's looking for vacation home right next to downtown Austin.

Thanks again Leslie!
