In the heart of downtown Austin’s Second Street District, this cool apartment really strikes a chord. The raw ceilings and polished concrete floors add an industrial vibe that works perfectly against the cityscape visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows. It’s a fresh, contemporary space but the little luxuries like memory foam mattresses and fully equipped kitchen, really make it feel like home. There's a private balcony off the dining area where you can watch the world down below, plus a shared swimming pool and outdoor barbecue area for if you want to make friends with other residents of the building. Step outside and the attractions of Austin, including a strong live music scene, are within easy reach if you fancy turning up the volume after dark.

Home truths:
