Airy, relaxing, and only a few minutes from all the stuff you plan on doing while in ATX. My home is located in the coveted 78704 area of South Austin, along the South Congress (SoCo) shopping and entertainment strip. You can easily walk to the 24 hour grocery store, four different banks/atms, a pharmacy, restaurants, shops, bars, coffee shops, bus stops, a nature preserve, a public pool, parks and more. Borrow a couple of my bikes and you'll be downtown in five minutes or most anywhere you want to be in Austin in less than twenty. The heart of SoCo is 1 mile away, Auditorium Shores is 2 miles away, Zilker Park/Barton Springs is 3 miles away and the airport is only a 15 minute drive. This is the side of the duplex I lived in and it includes wifi, central air, full kitchen, queen bed, queen couch bed, off-street parking, screen patio, front balcony, vaulted ceilings, solar panels, rainwater collection, big backyard, and a quiet neighborhood where you won't have to fight for a parking spot. There has been feedback about sound transmission between the units but as of today (9/19/2024) I have rebuilt the adjoining wall to be soundproof and so far the tests have proven the effort to be successful. Hooray! You are welcome to use all the normal stuff and can have access to a couple bikes if you give me some heads up. Convenience! Walk to everything you'll need while you're here and bike/bus to the rest of what people do in Austin. I'm a 2 mile straight shot down to the Congress bridge (where the bats are) and that's pretty much the center of all activity. The 1, 101 and rapid transit bus stops are all just a block away or you can easily bike around. A taxi ride to/from downtown or east is under $10. Barton Springs Pool and Zilker Park are 3 miles away, Auditorium Shores is 2 miles. You won't have trouble getting around without a car. Lots of bars, restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, thrift stores, etc. There's a nature preserve just down the street to hike around in and walking the St Edwards campus is always nice. There is a washer and dryer in a code locked utility room in the carport. If you are a single person staying for at least 3 months and are paying full price then I am happy to discuss sharing access. All other scenarios will require an additional fee. This is the larger side of a subdivided space. You share a couple walls with the smaller space so be considerate of that fact because the sound does travel. Generally you don't hear much if anything but if you do there are a couple fans that generate some white noise and mostly mute things. In the years of living with this configuration it hardly ever impacted my life but is worth noting.
