I've stayed at a number of places in East Austin and this was the best! The location is great. Walking distance to some really good restaurants like Sour Duck and Salty Sow. It also has a good coffee shop right next door and a Juiceland across the street! I didn't have our dog with us on this trip but noticed several great open spaces to take her. It was easy access to the lake and all of the nightlife on East 6th but far enough away to not have the overcrowded feeling of those places.
The place was clean and comfortable. Nicely decorated and had all of the essentials. Communication with the host was especially warm, simple and convenient. Whenever I'm headed back to Austin, this will be the place I stay.
