Sarah's back house is great, and exactly as pictured. It's clean, simple, and private. It really is very centrally located. We walked to most places, as we generally wanted to hang out on the East Side anyway. The place was clean, quiet, and very well equipped with anything you could need. We ended up being in Austin during a flash flood and she even had an umbrella hanging in the closet. It's definitely a solid and comfortable spot if you're traveling to Austin. She also had a great book full of things to do in Austin if you're totally new to the city. I will say that if you're looking for something funky or with that signature "Austin-y" quirk, this might not be the place. It really is straightforward comfortable and simple, and very, very clean. If you stay here definitely go get migas tacos at Veracruz All Natural. Also, try La Barbecue. We had a great time here and Sarah is a pro-host.
