We loved our stay at Rocio's place! East Austin was a good choice for active first-time visitors. We quite literally walked all around the city, from the Capitol to Zilker Park to downtown to South Congress and back but agreed there was no area we liked more than East Austin! Within a few block radius, we got delicious breakfast at Snooze, enjoyed beers at Zilker and Lazarus Brewing, had Detroit-style pizza at Via313, and appreciated the eclectic mix of murals adorning neighborhood buildings. Insanely cool neighborhood!
The unit itself is well-appointed, clean, quiet, and comfortable. We took advantage of the on-site pool during the heat of the day. The bonus was we were the only ones there (all three days)! The host responded to all our questions in a timely manner and even kindly accommodated our request for a late check-out. Five star experience for sure! We'll be back.
