About the host

Hosted by Ali Harding

Host profile image
We're The Hardings, a newlywed couple living in the heart of trendy East Austin. We're BIG on hospitality and crazy about our city and all that it has to offer. Ali, a tech recruiter by day and amateur chef by night is passionate about Austin's food scene (keep reading for her recommendations!) David is a program manager for some of Austin's biggest and most exciting construction projects. (To say he's handy would be an understatement.) Together, we make a great hosting team and we are readily available through the Airbnb app or a 5-minute drive away should you need anything urgent. While we no longer reside at The Porch House, it's near and dear to us and we hope you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Welcome to THE PORCH HOUSE in trendy East Austin! Aptly named for its inviting front porch, this home pays homage to the start of our love story.

In 2018, Ali was fortunate to purchase this adorable two-bedroom bungalow in East Austin. Over the years, the home housed her through sunny days and raging storms, eventually bringing a husband to its front door. (Literally!)

After connecting on a dating app, David showed up on a Saturday morning in Spring for our first date: a trip to Home Depot to collect supplies for a porch swing installation project. As it turns out, the swing held up and so did we!

Now as we embark on our Chapter Two and stretch out inside a larger space to call home, we're thrilled to share THE PORCH HOUSE with travelers near and far.
