Mario was a great host! He was incredibly accommodating with our check-in and check-out times and getting into the townhouse was a breeze. Everything was clean and we had plenty of towels etc. Mario's place looks just like the photos and it's in a cool neighborhood. You can walk a block north up to 6th street for all types of food, coffee, bars etc. It was quiet at night, though a little bright in the mornings, we would definitely stay here again. We were so busy checking out Austin, that we didn't notice not having cable, although there's a solid stereo system in the living room. Great spot, I would recommend staying here if you're looking for a place in East Austin.
