My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in this cute little house. We were only in Austin for a short period of time, but this met our needs nicely. The proximity to downtown and the airport was great, and we discovered a few cool places within walking distance. I would say that overall you need a vehicle to really enjoy the location, but we had read that in other reviews and knew it would not be a problem. The host was very communicative, and was there when we needed him. A thunderstorm ended up tripping a breaker on the electrical panel, and instead of letting us hunt the property for the panel he insisted on coming by and correcting it himself. It was appreciated and made us feel valued as guests. Would definitely stay here again on future visits.

As advertised, it was a cute small house. Exactly what was needed for a busy weekend and not spending a lot of time at the house. The location was good for us, as it was close to the UT Campos. The kitchen had nice, updated cabinets. But with respect, three small recommendations: clean the return vent and wipe down ceiling and walls, as they are full of dust. A fresh coat of paint will go a long way and update towels; they appear dingy with stains. However, none of these recommendations dampened our stay, this house worked well for us and had a nice fenced in back yard for our small pups. Thank you for letting us stay.

Perfect casita in East Austin

We were in town to visit with our daughter and celebrate her recent graduation from UT. Cesar's place was clean, cozy, well-appointed (we loved the LG Styler!), and in a great location!Sadly, we probably won't be coming to Austin much on these sorts of trips anymore, but we'd highly recommend Casita Poquita to others!

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!
