Summary
Welcome to the Creekside Bungalow, situated along the banks of East Bouldin Creek and a stone’s throw to South Congress and First Street commercial districts.

Perfect for up to 4 people looking to be in a thriving neighborhood and at the center of what makes Austin unique and memorable.
Space
Please note, all guests staying at a Portoro home are required to sign a rental agreement. You'll have the entire place to yourself. This charming, residentially-styled 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom is designed to make you feel right at home. Plush beds, a comfy couch, smart TVs, brand new appliances, and a BONUS basement workout room, office desk, and laundry are just a few shiny features offered. Enjoy the front porch for a morning cup of coffee on the cushioned bench or for socializing after a day of shopping on South Congress. NOTE: this is a fairly new property. The yard has not been completed yet. Also, it's an open property and doesn't have a fence. Sleeping arrangements include 2 private bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other a queen. 400 thread-count sheets and bedding will keep you cool or warm depending on the season. The newly remodeled kitchen includes a stovetop, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and smaller appliances. The space is well stocked with all the equipment and utensils you need to prepare a great meal. Sit at the high-top 4 person dining table for homecooked meals or when you have some of Austin’s favorite flavors delivered to your doorstep. The bungalow has a large bathroom and walk-in shower upstairs and another smaller bathroom with a stand-up shower on the basement level. Both are stocked with high-quality towels, toiletries, and essentials. The living room features a large screen smart TV with YouTube TV, and a sectional couch along with an assortment of board games. Ultra-fast internet keeps the bungalow connected so guests can work, stream, or surf from any location. Just outside the kitchen is our sunroom/mudroom that was enclosed to provide easy access to the bonus basement area downstairs. This lower-level area features a full standing desk set-up with a thunderbolt docking station and dual monitors, mouse, and keyboard for anyone needing to break away from the group to get some work done. Most unique to the bungalow is a dedicated workout area, also located in the basement. Keep up with your exercise routine using our provided mats, free weights, and a weight bench - all in the privacy of your own Austin short-term rental. NOTE: Stay Local Austin can connect you with some local fitness gurus for in-home classes too. Lastly, a full-size stacked washer and dryer with all the laundry essentials is also located downstairs.

Amazing Stay The property was very accessible to everything, from eats to shopping spots, that were even walking distance. The area was very nice to do some morning walks with our pet or even for a morning run. Loved every minute spent indoor and out.

Great location for an Austin visit The location is great! Very walkable to many shops and restaurants on S.1st and S. Congress. Overall the house was nice and comfortable. Very clean and well-equipped. There were a couple small maintenance issues that could have been addressed but nothing major. Off street parking would have been nice also but we knew it was not included before booking. Again - very cute and comfy house in a great location!
