Modern, walkable hideaway with incredible natural light in the super-chill Eastside Cherrywood neighborhood.

No, really. There are like, tons of windows in there.

Austin hotspots and events are a short ride share away from our central location. But with a well-appointed kitchen, hot restaurants, bars, and coffee shops just a short stroll away, and super comfy digs you may find you don't want to wander very far.

The space
Clean and colorful, modern and serene, B-side is full of thoughtful touches we always wanted in the places we've rented.

PET ACCOMMODATIONS:

**To expedite your booking when bringing a doggo, please state that you have read and agree to our pet policies below when submitting your request.**

We love doggos! But for our sanity and both our pets' safety they must follow a few rules:

- Sorry, no cats (we're allergic)
- You must add a pet to your request for a flat fee of $60 to cover basic additional cleaning, etc.
- Damage to the unit, bathroom accidents, and additional intensive cleaning, will incur an additional cleaning fee above and beyond our pet fee.
- All dogs must be crated if/when left alone (we have a big crate for you, don't worry!)
- Visiting pets are NOT allowed in our fenced backyard. We take no risks with our or your dogs' safety.
- We provide a pet blanket for the couch/bed to protect against dirty paws.
- Please clean up after your dog. A bin is provided for poop bags.
- In your request, please include a note telling us a little about your doggo. Size, breed, temperament, and travel experience really help! We love ALL breeds.

STAYING 7 NIGHTS OR MORE?
Unlike a lot of hosts we don't want to overcharge guests for cleaning. So we keep a low $75 fee for those staying up to a week. However, when you stay longer than that, things can get a little, uh..lived in. To that end, we very much appreciate you allowing a mandatory refresh from of our super cool housekeeper for every 7 nights spent at B-side. A $60 additional fee resets B-side to the same standards it was at when you arrived. Think “hotel, but more awesome.” While resets are highly preferred and encouraged we work with your schedule to come through while you’re adventuring and you come home to a fresh, new B-side.

Smoking/vaping: There is absolutely no smoking/vaping inside any structure on the property. Doing so is grounds for immediate eviction. If you must do so during your stay let us know and we'll find an acceptable outdoor location and an ashtray for you.

Other things to note
Pole Dance in your living room! -
Roxie is a certified pole dance instructor, international competition judge, and performer so naturally, we equipped B-side with two permanently mounted dance poles and a rig point for aerial silks, lyra, and more. If you're interested in private lessons they're available for an additional fee.

Note: Poles and rig point not accessible without a host present. Sorry, no private monkey business.

B-side welcomes all, loves all, is all. It is your ally and passionate supporter of:
- LGBTQIA+ and however else you identify.
- All religions, or lack thereof.
- All gender(s), all pronouns, all humans.
- Your heritage, background, culture, and people.
- Science, reason, love, and humanity.
We're so glad you're here! Yes, you.

*Please note there is an exterior camera just outside above the front door to the space as well as others as you approach and walk through the exterior areas of the property. These are for the safety of ourselves, our guests, and their personal belongings. None are pointed at the door of Bside and none have a view inside. There are NO interior cameras or decibel meters inside the space. That'd be creepy.

Neighborhood highlights

When people talk about Austin locations, they talk about 6th Street. Chances are you've also heard the term "Eastside" brought up. This refers to the more recently popular real estate east of I-35. You can find lots of nightlife with bars, restaurants, and events directly east of downtown around Cesar Chavez and East 6th Street, but as you creep steadily northward you'll find hip little hoods like Cherrywood, which we call home, that allow you to escape the madness while still being close by for when it's time to jump back into the fray.

Staying close by? Cherrywood boasts some stellar coffee shops, bars, restaurants, and more within a 10-minute walk of the B-side. So feel free to stick around.
