Miraval Austin created an extended stay program that lets people "test drive" what it's like living in Austin, Texas as tech companies continue to flock to the "next Silicon Valley."
"Austin offers people the cachet of a cool cultural center and a burgeoning tech hub paying high wages, while still remaining much more affordable than coastal markets like San Francisco, San Jose, and Seattle," Jeff Tucker, a senior economist at Zillow, told Insider's Natasha Solo-Lyons in December.
Its latest extended stay offer was designed to allow people considering a move to Austin a chance to "test drive the area" before officially committing to a move.
"There has been significant interest in the last week alone, with many phone inquiries and online chat inquiries about extended stays," Anthony Duggan, area vice president and general manager of Miraval Austin, told Insider in an email statement.
If all of this sounds enticing to you, Miraval's extended stay offer also includes a shuttle to bring guests to and from the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
