Eastside Cottage sits on a quiet residential street in East Austin's Govalle neighborhood, a crisp black cottage with a fenced front lawn and stepping stones leading to the door. Inside, it's bright and calm, with white walls, warm wood floors, and colorful woven textiles. Downtown is only about three miles away, close enough to dip into the city whenever you want and far enough to come home to some quiet. The living area is built for slow mornings and lazy evenings. Sink into the leather sofa, put your feet up on the ottoman in the reading chair by the window, or settle in for a movie on the wall-mounted TV above the sleek linear fireplace. A ceiling fan keeps the air moving on hot Texas afternoons. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a real meal: stainless steel appliances, a gas range, white shaker cabinets, and a breakfast counter with two stools for coffee or takeout tacos. A stacked washer and dryer makes longer stays easy. The bedroom has a king bed layered with soft throws, its own TV, and big windows that bring in the morning light. Down the hall, the bathroom has a shower and tub combo with patterned tile and a clean white vanity. This part of the East Side has a neighborhood feel, with local coffee, food trucks, and green space all close to home. You’re in Govalle, one block from Canopy, a community of artists, galleries, and other creatives. Springdale Road is your go-to for a slice at Bambino’s Pizza, coffee or cocktails at Stargaze, a night at Springdale Station, or a climb and a yoga class at Austin Bouldering Project. The Webberville Road food truck park is about a 15-minute walk, with coffee, barbecue, and hot chicken in one shaded lot. Govalle Park and the Southern Walnut Creek Trail are close by for a run or a bike ride. When you want more of Austin, East 6th Street is a quick scooter or pedicab ride away, and Rainey Street, Lady Bird Lake, and Texas Memorial Stadium are each about three miles out. The airport is roughly 15 minutes away. AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay.
