First time in Austin. My girlfriend and I crashed here for a night and we loved it. It is a awesome little quirky place, very clean and well maintained. Really perfect for a short stay, and close proximity to an awesome neighborhood.

I loved a lot about the east side neighborhood. From Erin's place you are a short drive or bike ride away from many cool cafes, bars, and restaurants.

I spent a lot of time on Manor hanging out with friends at Haymaker and the Butterfly Bar. We grabbed great eats at El Chilito for awesome breakfast tacos and Patrizi's Italian food cart. Also close by is Micklewaith Smoked Meats, amazing BBQ served up by super friendly locals.

The 5th and 6th street areas also had a great mix of music, art, and good street eats. I'd recommend dropping by the Lion's Nest if your interested in local art and graphic design. I picked up a couple fun affordable pieces.

Austin is not a great walking town, but with a bike or car you can really experience a lot in this neighborhood as there is much more than we could see and eat in the short weekend we were in the area. This tiny little place is a perfect microcosm of the quirky creativity and unique vibe. One of many hidden gems in East Side Austin!
