My husband and I just spent a 4-day weekend in Austin (our first time there), and this place was perfect. The location is great; just around the corner from Quickie Pickie (little store that also serves food and drinks), Hillside Farmacy (cute breakfast place), Try Hard Coffee (cool coffee with a DJ all day), and Paperboy (popular, upscale breakfast/lunch place). Also walkable (15-20 min walk) to many other east austin restaurants and shops. The place is very cool. We used the record player and it was warm enough to enjoy the private little deck and yard. The house is well stocked with pretty much everything you need. It is not fancy, it is just simple and cozy. We rented a car (which I highly recommend since the neighborhoods in Austin are spread out), and there was easy parking right in front. All in all, a fantastic place to stay at a fair price. MUCH better than staying at a hotel!
