6. A room of a kind (from USD 149)
“Keep Austin Weird” is the city’s motto, and you can experience that vibe in your stay in this private room, part of Blair’s 1904 historic mansion. The bedroom is known as “the blue room” and is part of a house with antique hardwood floors and rooms covered in artwork. This is a one-of-a-kind accommodation in a one-of-a-kind city.
Guest Chris describes: “This house is one unique experience. Stunning old home, beautiful condition, dark wood, flowing floor plan – and every inch of wall; including ceilings covered with art, photography, memorabilia, curiosa. Blair has an eye for the quirky and surreal, which is a truly creative blend with the older traditional design. You could spend days just strolling the house and examining the art.”

This studio is also an ideal choice because of the amenities of the building, like the rooftop pool and a parking garage available for free!

Besides, the listing offers additional value by having art from local artists and a sound system that music lovers would appreciate, like Guest Cindy: “There’s also a fantastic vinyl collection that was a nice treat.”

10. A place to make new furry friends (from USD 89)
This is a listing that will suit urban art and animal lovers alike. Host Sarah offers this private room in a three-bedroom house located on top of a hill overlooking downtown. It is right next to Hope Gallery, one of the last remaining sanctioned graffiti parks in the United States. Since it is rumored that the gallery could be relocated, you might want to hurry to book this listing!

11. Location, location, location (from USD 118)
“You will feel like you are staying at a boutique downtown Austin hotel with the amenities of an extended stay hotel,” hosts Noura and Joe describe. The apartment is close to 6th Street and the 4th Street Warehouse District, the two biggest nightlife areas of Austin, and includes a walk-in closet, washer, and dryer in unit and a beautiful pool. Even though the listing states that the place can fit up to six people, the previous guest advises that the apartment offers a more comfortable stay up to four people. It’s a wonderful alternative if you prioritize an excellent location.

12. An option for any type of traveler (from USD 75)
This listing has not only been praised for its prime location by guests that traveled for the South by Southwest festival, but also by people that attended conferences at the Austin Convention Center. The room has twin beds and is in a shared condo where hosts Raul and Zac offer other rooms for rent, so the bathroom is shared with other guests. However, the place provides an additional value for a property that is in the middle of the buzz: curtains and double-paned windows that help you minimize the noise. Whether you are in town for the music or for business, it is a fantastic selection.
