With plenty of things to do, see, eat, and drink for literally everyone, Austin is a major hotspot attracting plenty of visitors. In a city this “weird” (in the best way!) and diverse, a standard hotel just won’t do, so let’s take a deep dive into the best and most unique Airbnbs in Austin.
Not only is Austin one of the fastest growing cities in Texas, but also in the United States. It’s widely known as a hub for live music and festivals, incredible food (specifically, food trucks!), a buzzy mezcal scene, and innovative startups.
The city is also home to vibrant neighborhoods and entertainment districts, a giant natural spring-fed swimming pool, and one of the largest universities in the U.S. Oh, and we can’t forget about the fact that Austin always “keeps it weird.”
With so many fun things to do in Austin, Texas, there are plenty of reasons to visit!
If you’re planning a trip to ATX, whether it’s for a weekend getaway, a family gathering or a Bachelorette party, you’ll want to find the perfect place to stay. Just like all the reasons to visit, there are seemingly endless options for Airbnbs in Austin.
Not to worry, we’ve done the hard work for you. We put together this guide highlighting the very best Airbnbs in Austin—from budget finds to the most unique and upscale.
Why stay at an Airbnb in Austin
In our humble opinion, renting an Airbnb is by far one of the best ways to really experience a new destination. You get a jumping-off point in a more residential neighborhood, a more spacious place than a hotel room, plus direct access to a local who knows all the good hotspots and hidden gems.
There are several other reasons to consider Airbnbs in Austin, too, including:
- Stay in the heart of one of the city’s eclectic neighborhoods, where your neighbors are locals—not other tourists
- Access to home-like amenities, such as a yard or full kitchen (even in a great food city like Austin, it’s smart to make at least a few meals at “home” to save some money)
- Avoid traffic and parking hassles in the downtown core
- Have quick, easy access to things like hiking and Hill Country, well beyond the realm of downtown
- Share a place with family or friends to stay together (and save money!)
Where to stay in Austin
With so many unique, vibrant neighborhoods, you really can’t go wrong no matter where you choose to stay in Austin. Each neighborhood has a distinct vibe and its own offerings, so there are a few areas to consider when looking into Airbnbs in Austin.
- Downtown: Home of the Texas State Capitol, infamous Sixth Street, and Rainey Street, the city center has lots to do and see. This is the place to be if you want to experience Austin’s hoppin’ nightlife or visit without renting a car.
- East Austin: You’ll find a more relaxed vibe in East Austin, but you’ll still be surrounded by food trucks, breweries, bars, boutiques, and street art. In other words, all the entertainment without the hustle and bustle of downtown.
- South Austin: While South Austin is a bit more residential, it’s also home to eclectic, uber-hip South Congress — AKA, SoCo — and the city’s crown jewel, Zilker Park (home of Barton Spring and Lady Bird Lake!).
- Other neighborhoods: In this section, we list Airbnbs in Austin located outside the above areas that are still great recommendations. Clarksville and North Loop are perfect examples.
- Just outside the city: If you’re looking for a retreat from the city but don’t want to go too far out of town, we’ve collected a few Airbnb stays that’ll have you feeling like you’re a world away from Austin, but still within a 2-hour drive.
