No matter what your reason for visiting Austin is, In the Green by Portoro is a great place to stay. Heading to a UT football game? In the Green is only 3 miles from the stadium. Here for a concert? Moody Center and Moody Amphitheater are both about 3 miles away. Checking out the Downtown Austin scene? It's a short 3.2 miles away. Maybe you want to do something a little more active on your visit? Austin Bouldering Project, Urban Axes, and the East Boggy Creek Greenbelt are all within 2 miles of In the Green, too.
Even if you'd rather just stay in, you will have a great time at In the Green. This charming bungalow has an open concept floorplan with a state of the art kitchen and a living area with plenty of plush seating. Not to mention the giant smart projector! It's a perfect setting to watch a game or snuggle up to a good movie. If you're in the mood for more than just popcorn when you watch, you have your choice of cooking something in the kitchen or grilling out back.
When it's time to catch up on your sleep, you have two bedrooms each equipped with a queen bed and inviting pillows. There's a desk in one of the bedrooms should you need to do a bit of work while visiting. There are also two full bathrooms and one half bath for your privacy and convenience. One bathroom has a tub/shower combination while the other has a walk-shower.
