What a beautiful home in one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in Austin! Every, and I mean EVERY amenity that you could want is found in this wonderful home. Including, comfortable furniture, top shelf entertainment systems, welcome snacks, excellent wifi and great recommendations on restaurants & activities. The owner Brian, was outstanding. Tremendous communication and responsiveness on any inquiries. We walked to Quickie Pickie for breakfast most mornings and enjoyed the Food Truck park (literally 700 feet from the front door) on multiple occasions. I highly recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in East Austin. We hope to be back ourselves in the summer!

Perfection!

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely, well-appointed home. It was extremely clean, well stocked, and the beds were very comfortable. There were restaurants within walking distance and the neighborhood seemed very safe. I would absolutely stay here again. We really enjoyed our time in Austin. Thank you for a wonderful launching off point!!!!

Perfect Hacker House for Consensus

This house was everything for our Consensus week hacker house! Brian was a great communicator even before we got into town, answering questions about places to visit and what to expect for the home. The house itself is beautiful, just like the photos, and fully equipped with a huge range for cooking and backyard BBQ. We played guitar and sang in the backyard, enjoyed board games, watched some scary movies on the big screen TV, and slept comfortably throughout the week in the king beds and inflatable mattress. We'll miss this home away from home - thank you for everything!

Beautiful home and best place we've ever stayed

Brian’s place was absolutely perfect and exactly as described. It was very cute and spacious. It was super clean and the bedrooms were huge! There were 6 of us and we had not seen each other since high school. It was a mini-reunion. The backyard was perfect for us to sit outside late at night and chat. So many things were walkable or a short scooter/Uber ride. The place had two living spaces and so much room for us to play games, have a little dance party, or just stay up and talk. We cooked in one night and the kitchen was amazing! We made coffee every morning and it was fantastic to have all the coffee supplies provided as we arrived late. We 100% fell in love with the front and back porch areas and have already decided we are going to rebook next Spring when we meet up again. This house is CUTE and full of charm. We loved it. Brian also responded immediately the two times we contacted him.
