About this property

Historic Harthan

This space is a delightful mix of beauty, comfort, and location. We keep an immaculate, cozy home perfectly nestled near the best Austin has to offer. Pecan Square Cafe, Clark's, Lin Asian Bar + Dim Sum, and Swedish Hill restaurants are next door!

The apartment is a 2b/1b with plenty of large windows, outside porch, beautiful garden area, water fountains, comfy beds (2 queens – one in each bedroom; and 1 queen+ futon in living room).

Walkable to many restaurants (Pecan Square Cafe, Clark's, Lin Asian Bar + Dim Sum, Z-tejas, Bar Peached, Cipollina, Galaxy Cafe, Josephine House, Jeffery's), Cafe Medici (coffee lover's heaven), as well as neighborhood parks and pools. Also within walking distance of 6th Street (for bar hoppers), 2nd Street (for shoppers), the Warehouse District (for food-o-philes), Whole Foods (their flagship store) and our beloved BookPeople (for bookworms).

Includes Full kitchen (stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, Nespresso coffee machine, French press, blender, dishwasher, etc).

Not for guests who want to party. No parties or excessive noise; No loud noise after 9pm weekdays and 10pm weekends (residential area). Please be mindful as there is an apartment below you and that loud sounds can easily disturb guest(s) downstairs and/or neighbors. Thank you for your consideration.

Early check-in: Generally guests check-out and then we need several hours to sparkle and clean the apartment. You can check-in early after 11:30am, as long as you know that the space will probably not yet be clean.

Late check-out: If no guests are checking in the day you leave, then you can have a late check-out. Otherwise, we will need to start cleaning to be ready for the next guests.

Bag drop: You are always welcomed to drop you bags off early or leave them to pick up later in the day (if so contact us beforehand so that we can make arrangements).

Parking: In the back of the house is the carport. You can use either one of the two spots available. However, do not use the other spot (as it is reserved for someone else).

Although we recommend renting a car, here are other ways of getting around:
• Lyft, Uber and Taxis.
• Austin B-cycle (bike sharing).
• Car2go (membership required).
• CapMetro (Austin's public transportation is not that great).

If you need any questions or special requests, just let us know.

Lovely and quaint
We really enjoyed our stay. Especially the location. Only downside was the noise adjacent to the property I.e restaurants and garbage trucks, traffic etc.

Beautiful, cleanly house. Great communication with hosts. Nice neighborhood to explore and walkable to many main downtown attractions (we like to walk!). Comfortable beds and nice linens. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking and eating utensils but it would have been difficult to cook a meal....there is no basics like oil and vinegar and you have to clear out all food when you leave. We were only there 4 nights and out for most meals. If we stayed a few days longer it would have been nice to have a cook at home option for a day.

Exactly what we needed/wanted.
No issues, seamless experience. Watch your head going in the laundry room, though. One of our group learned that the hard way. Location is walkable to 6th Street bars.

About the host

Hosted by Chet Hornung

Host profile image
An Austin native, I grew up in Austin and have lived in Austin almost 40 years. I loves traveling, experiencing new cultures, tasting new foods, and meeting new people. It makes me happy to provide a beautiful and immaculate home-away-from-home for people who wish to experience Austin.

Why they chose this property

The location of this vacation rental gets the best of both worlds -- a taste of urban living in a quaint and historic neighborhood. Located in the center of the city and only a stone's throw from downtown's many attractions.

What makes this property unique

Harthan Street is Austin's first Local Historic District. It is a residential street one block long, extending north from West 6th Street. Located within the West Line National Register Historic District, it is composed of ten houses, of which the earliest home, The A. J. Jernigan House, known as Las Ventanas (directly across the street) was built in 1875. Our house was built in 1917.
