Embed Yourself in East Austin

This newly renovated bungalow is located in East Austin neighborhood

"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!

"Such an amazing place in E Austin. Everything inside is new and features fantastic products. The beds are crazy comfortable. We loved being a short walk to great coffee shops, bars and restaurants. We felt the friendliness of Austin with the wonderful hospitality."
