This is a cute little place that was pretty convenient for our east Austin travels. It’s 10-15 minutes from downtown and 5-10 minutes from east 6th, which has tons of great restaurants, bars, and coffee. Medici coffee is super close and we highly recommend. Also really close to Mueller Park with some great food truck and store front options as well.
What we loved: The house feels removed from the city, which we liked, and the back yard was super nice to hang out in the evening. We LOVED the natural lighting of the kitchen. It’s the cutest part of the house. The beds were as advertised, very comfy. The pullout couch was easy and really cute and we fit five people in the house for four days without a problem. The artsy vibe was great and very “Austin.”
What we didn’t love: The lock on the front door is finicky. Once we figured out how to rig it, we mostly got it to lock for the rest of our time but the first day was a struggle. The surrounding houses are a bit tight, so there was some neighborhood noise, but we can probably attribute some of that to it being the 4th of July weekend. The bathrooms could use an update. The master bath has very little space between the toilet and bath, and the main bath had low water pressure.
Overall, if you plan to do a lot on the east side of Austin, this is a cute little place that felt safe and fun.
