Ish's place is hands down the best place to stay in Austin. It is in the perfect location, just a short walk from all the live music venues, restaurants and bars in the East 6th or East 11th districts.. Her house is beautiful, spotless and decorated with paintings from local artists. I stayed in the house with another friend, and we each had our own bedroom and bathroom! Totally luxury. It has all the amenities you need and Ish even stocked the fridge with drinks and beer.. and to top it off, made us cookies for our arrival!!!

Ish is a great host - she sent us detailed tips beforehand on where to visit and eat/drink during our stay. She would even invite us to local parties and gigs, but at the same time she was very mindful of our privacy. We clicked with Ish as soon as we met her, so took up her offer to show us around Austin - she took us to local art fairs and we had a wonderful final night out in Austin with Ish and her friends.

Everything ran very smoothly - Ish gave us multiple cell phone numbers to make sure that the meet up would go well. She was waiting at the house on our arrival and gave us 2 sets of keys… the house even has an alarm system so super safe.

We will definitely be back to Austin.. and when we do we hope that Ish's place will be available! It really made a difference to our trip!
