As I told the host, I am overwhelmed for words to describe how how incredible my stay was at the casita. I'm a Travel RN, and stayed here for roughly 3 months (from March to June) while on contract in Austin.
The host(s) seemed to effortlessly make me feel nothing but pure and absolute comfort. Location aside, the way they punctuated my stay was exquisite.👌
This casita is striking in appearance and stature, and is unapologetically "Austin". The apartment is on 2nd floor, above a 2 car garage. Built strong and quiet, it's cavernous with the vaulted ceilings and primarily open floorplan (kitchen/dining/living). I'm 6'4 and 230lbs so tend to get cramped pretty quickly, but I felt like it was perfectly sized for me, personally, to feel the utmost comfort.
Speaking of comfort... The bed.. 😳 This bed is SUPREMELY comfortable. And HUGE. I miss it.
Now let's get into the location..
Whatever you're dreaming of? It's better.
The walk-ability of this place is second to none. But also, I think it's worth noting that this area and neighborhood is also very very drivable (which surprised me, being an area that is essentially packed with people). East side/Ceasar Chavez is so vibrant and magnetic with tons of restaurants, bars, live music venues (including 3 blocks from the iconic Scoot Inn). It's utterly perfect in every way, there's nothing that isn't super close and at your disposal. I'm talking like- if not walkable, A 4- MINUTE DRIVE. There's literally 2 stop signs between this corner and the mecca that is 5th St. (Whole Foods, Target, coffee shops, good-looking dogs, food, tattoos, breweries, food, greenspace, and food trucks). Walk one more stop sign, and you're at 6th St. which has a high concentration of different (but also really cool) bars/restaurants/ live music/food trucks/patios/good looking dogs/greenspaces and food trucks...
I joke, but while it IS true- this area however is blanketed with a uniqueness, authenticity & life that romanticized my stay in a way I will never forget as long I live.
.....So, I guess you could say I'd recommend it.. 😎🤌🤌🤌
