Sylvia is extremely friendly and hospitable. She gave a warm welcome. The place is nice: sparkling clean and spacious enough. Sylvia also leaves extra towels in case you want to go to Barton Springs - lots of kind little touches like that to make the place very homey. Great location, close to downtown and some of the gems of East Austin, including a wonderful cafe Cenote, only a block or so away. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone passing by Austin.
