We took a four day trip to Austin with four people and stayed at Rachel and Weylin's guest house. Rachel was easy to communicate with before our trip and kept in touch before we got to Austin.
We met her when we arrived and she showed us the space. She had made warm molasses cookies for us and offered to make suggestions for us should we need any for things to do or restaurants to try while we were in town.
We had a rental car for the weekend, and we used it. We would have loved to bring our bikes though. The city seems so bikeable. There is a Car2go lot several blocks down the street, so plan accordingly.
We had a wonderful trip this weekend, we loved being in east Austin. It was easy to get around and we took advantage of the Austin Bouldering Project which was just down the road. I would recommend Rachel to others looking for a cozy place to stay in Austin.
