Cyndi is a warm and responsive host and her place is modern, bright, and comfortable. The decor has a clean and light Southwestern vibe, and the house is blissfully free of clutter. The landscaping is beautiful and serene. If the weather were warmer we would have enjoyed the attractive outdoor seating and pool. If you want to be in “East Austin” near some good bars, coffee shops, food trucks and restaurants, this is a good location . You can also walk to the hike and bike path. For other needs or interests, it’s not a far drive to South Congress, downtown, or the campus area where you will find shopping and museums, and more cultural options .
