We know — we're sorry. It's a long pipe run and we haven't found a good fix yet. House Rules A Few Things to _Keep in Mind_ We've kept the rules short. Most of this is common sense and consideration for the neighbours, but we'd rather be transparent upfront than have any awkward conversations later. 1 No smoking indoors Smoking, vaping, and any open flame other than cooking are not permitted inside the property. The patio is fine for smoking — please use the ashtray on the railing and dispose of butts in the bin. 2 Pets welcome with notice We love animals. If you're travelling with a pet, just let us know in advance. Please keep them off the furniture and clean up after them in the yard. An extra cleaning fee may apply. 3 Quiet hours after 10 PM The neighbours on both sides have young children. We ask that noise — music, TV, conversations — stay at a considerate level after 10 PM on weeknights and 11 PM on weekends. 4 Registered guests only The reservation is for the guests listed in your booking. Please don't host visitors overnight without letting us know first — we need to know who's in the property for safety and insurance reasons. 5 Lock up when you leave Both the front and back doors lock automatically when you pull them shut. Please double-check before heading out. The key lockbox code is 4829 — enter it to retrieve the spare key if needed. 6 No large gatherings or events This is a residential property. Small dinner parties (up to 8 people total) are fine. Larger gatherings, parties, or any event that generates noise complaints are not permitted and may result in immediate termination of the stay. Local Area Our _Favourites_ These are the places we actually go ourselves — not a generic tourist list. Everything on here has been personally tried and enjoyed. Distances are walking unless noted. Coffee & Breakfast The Daily Press 7 min walk · Outstanding flat whites and avocado toast. Get there before 9 AM on weekends or expect a queue. Magnolia Café 12 min walk · Open 24 hours. The breakfast tacos are legendary. Cash only. Epoch Coffee 5 min walk · Best spot to work. Reliable WiFi, plenty of outlets, and they never rush you. Dinner & Drinks Uchiko 8 min drive · The best sushi in the city. Book at least 3 days ahead, especially on weekends. El Naranjo 10 min walk · Authentic Oaxacan food. The tlayudas are unlike anything else in town. Half Step 15 min walk · Riverside cocktail bar with great views and no pretension. Opens at 5 PM. Groceries & Essentials H-E-B 5 min drive · The Texas grocery institution. Enormous selection, great prices, and a deli that's better than most restaurants. Wheatsville Food Co-op 7 min walk · Organic and local produce. The hot bar is excellent for a quick meal if you're too tired to cook. Parks & Outdoors Barton Springs Pool 12 min drive · Natural spring-fed swimming pool. $5 entry. Cold, refreshing, absolutely worth it in summer. Greenbelt Trail 10 min drive · Miles of hiking along Barton Creek. Dog-friendly. Free parking at the 360 Bridge entrance. Zilker Park 15 min walk · 350 acres on the lake. Great for picnics, frisbee, or just watching the dogs chase each other. Before You Go Check-Out _Instructions_ Check-out is at **11:00 AM**. If you need a late check-out, please message us the evening before — we'll do our best to accommodate based on our cleaning schedule. We don't charge for late check-outs when we can manage it. There's no need to do a deep clean — that's what the cleaning fee is for. But we do ask for a few things before you leave: **Dishes:** Run the dishwasher if you've used dishes, or wash by hand and leave in the drying rack. **Rubbish:** Bag up any trash and leave it in the bin under the kitchen sink, or outside in the green bin if it's full. **Towels:** Leave used towels in a pile on the bathroom floor — do not put them back on the rail, as that tells us they're still clean. **Keys:** Return the key to the lockbox (code: 4829) and make sure the door pulls shut behind you. **Thermostat:** Set to 72°F before you leave — saves energy while the cleaners are getting the place ready. **Windows and doors:** Make sure all ground-floor windows are closed and latched, and the back gate is locked. **Anything broken?** Let us know before you leave — we appreciate honesty and won't take it personally. Accidents happen. We'd Love a Review If you enjoyed your stay, a review on the platform where you booked means the world to us. It takes two minutes and makes a real difference for small hosts like us. We'll leave you an honest review too, of course.
