Designer Home near University of Texas

Our Treehouse apartment is a mere 550 square feet, but the high ceilings and sunlight from the storefront-sized windows make it feel more spacious. The apartment footprint is modest to accommodate the mature American elm tree just a few feet away, a protected heritage tree. We lived an entire year in the Treehouse while our home was being renovated, so we can vouch for how comfy it is for a couple. The sofa bed is queen sized and comfortably accommodates two adults, but we definitely do not recommend our apartment for more than four adults. And if you're on the fence about a rental car in Austin, we vote yes. While it's totally possible to get around without a car, this IS Texas after all. The Salt Lick, the Wildflower Center, the Oasis, Jester King, Circuit of the Americas, etc. are not cheap cab fares! The exception to the rental car rec is for SXSW and ACL, or if you plan to be working at the University of Texas, Dell Children's Hospital or med school or some other downtown location where parking will be tough. There is a small outdoor seating area at the bottom of the apartment stairs. You will also have a parking spot in the gravel lot next to the garage off the alley. We both receive messages through the Airbnb messaging app and respond as quickly as possible, but please phone if it's extremely urgent. Hyde Park is Austin's oldest suburb, established in 1891. Unlike the rest of the city, it seems to be the only place that hasn't changed too much in the last 25 years. The house is a quick bus or cab ride from busy downtown. If you're on the fence about a rental car in Austin, we vote yes. While it's totally possible to get around without a car, this IS Texas where our cities were planned around roads. The Salt Lick, the Wildflower Center, the Oasis, Jester King, Circuit of the Americas, etc. are not cheap fares! The exception to the rental car rec is for SXSW and ACL, or if you plan to be working at the University of Texas, Dell Children's Hospital or med school or some other downtown location where parking will be tough. In that case, there are several different bus lines within a couple of blocks from the Treehouse. You'll see the small Metro Rail pass within a block our place, but the nearest stop is 1.7 miles away (Highland). Check out the Capital Metro website for more info or to load money to their app. Our favorite ride share companies are Ride Austin and Lyft -- it's rare that you ever wait more than 5 minutes for a ride from our place. We also live within the car2go car share service area.
