Great East Austin Location
Small house was perfect for my wife and I and our dogs. The little fenced yard was great for their late night potty breaks. House was as described. Location was great: I walked dogs several times and grew to appreciate how diverse the neighborhood is. Excellent food trucks and restaurants in the neighborhood. Very easy access to downtown and IH 35, if you avoid rush hour. All in all, excellent bang for the buck. Thanks, Cesar.

Cute place. Excellent location
Exactly what we needed and for a reasonable price. Love the neighborhood. Some of the supplies could have been topped off…dishwasher soap, coffee pods, but not a big deal. Would stay again if I’m lucky enough to get back to Austin.

Great spot, fun neighborhood
We needed a place to stay in Austin after the eclipse, and this one was a find. The high end appliances and climate control options were great, and the fast WiFi came in handy when I needed to be in a remote long distance meeting for several hours. Our dog settled right in, and especially liked the little fenced backyard. It’s in a quiet neighborhood, just blocks from all kinds of takeout windows and food trucks in one direction, with a nice running/biking trail and light rail in the other. There were even fireflies! We only wish we could have stayed longer (especially since the food trucks and nearby BBQ were closed on certain days). Highly recommended!

Short business trip
The home was exactly as described. It is located in a great central location. Sam's BBQ right down the street looks rough, but its some of the best BBQ I've ever eaten. I would definitely stay here again!

Easy East Austin
Cute house, super convenient location and we loved the little yard for our pup. The off street parking spot is a great feature as well. I wish the house was a little cleaner, the water pressure in the bathroom sink is quite low and the back door sticks badly but all those are fixable items. I was double charged for the pet fee even though we brought only one of our dogs but maybe the host will make it up next time. No big deal. Overall comfortable, enjoyable stay.

Perfect little spot
This was a perfect little house in a very quiet neighborhood. We were in town for the Pearl Jam shows at Moody Center and the location was great for Ubers to and from the venue. The next time I'm in town, I'll definitely check to see if this place is available!

Great getaway
This was my get over my ex getaway and this place did not disappoint. It was super cute, adorable, and pet friendly. There were plenty of towels and supplies. We walked to restaurants within a few blocks and felt safe. I had to work a couple days, the internet was fantastic for remote workers. I would highly recommend this place.

Wonderful and Comfortable Home
We stayed in this great rental for five days with our beloved Labrador. The home was perfect for the three of us with everything we needed- a comfortable living room, nice queen-sized bed, modern and clean kitchen, and bright bathroom. The backyard was a welcome retreat, and our dog loved relaxing out back and in the perfectly air-conditioned house. This adorable house is in a quiet neighborhood and is very convenient to UT Austin. There are also many great shops and restaurants in the immediate area. We highly recommend this property!

I really enjoyed the decoration it makes the space even more cosy. The amounf of streaming services available makes it a true home away from home. The washer and dryer was extremely useful for our trip as well. Very well air conditioned especially since Austin was very hot during our stay. Cesar was very nice and clear about all polocies and made it easy for a first time vacation renter like me. The location is very conveinent and the neighborhood is very quite barely saw a single person around. Only thing missing was a pen to sign the guest book but it was a wonderful stay. 5/5 would rent again!
