Strum & Flow

In vibrant downtown Austin, this roomy apartment is perfect for a city getaway, whether you're in town for a few days or a few weeks. With its high ceilings, concrete flooring and open living area, this place is all about industrial chic. The pops of colour and plush accents brighten up the monochrome colour scheme, while the building's long list of amenities – including a gym, pool, business centre and picnic area – make staying here a dream. Start your morning with coffee on the private balcony before heading out for the day. There are plenty of boutiques, restaurants and trendy galleries to discover, and you're within easy reach of Austin's main attractions. In the evenings, rustle up meals in the sleek kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances and plenty of cookware. Better yet, enjoy a night on the town – Austin is famous for its music venues and lively bars.
