Ryan was the perfect host! It's clear he's thought of every detail to help make his guests feel welcome and at home - coffee, snacks, drinks, guestbook with nearby restaurants, bars, shops, local attractions, etc. And he's an excellent communicator! Ryan's guest house is super cute and very private in that it sits at the end of a quiet alley in a great neighborhood. I was in town visiting my son and his fiancee who live a few houses down, so Ryan's flat was the perfect location. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and lounging on the sofa when they came over to visit. It was so convenient bouncing back and forth from their place to Ryan's. I also loved the short walk to Bennu for morning coffee and Sour Duck for lunch. After full days of exploring Austin and shopping, it was great to come "home" to an especially comfortable bed. I liked the flat so much, I've inquired about reserving it for our son's upcoming wedding. One last thing - the internet service was very reliable and saved the day for my son when his service went out due to an overnight storm. He was able to work at Ryan's for the day until his service was restored. Whether you are in Austin for work or pleasure East Side Flats is the perfect retreat!
