"Excellent new and cool place to stay in East Austin! Very cool vibe and close to many of the great bars and restaurants on the East side."

This Airbnb was a 10/10! Loved the aesthetic, modern appliances and the bed was super comfortable. Also, it could not be in a better location: across the street from longpays(live music) and Lou’s, and super close to town lake for morning runs. Will definitely be staying here next time I’m in Austin!
