    Wonderful trip!, October 6, 2009 By Sharon (Durango, Colorado)
    My husband and I were in Austin on business and stayed at this wonderful rental for 3 weeks in September. Really lovely and very convenient to the Lake~ we kayaked, ran the trail~ we're runners and loved all the excellent food and music Austin has to offer. Kathy and George took such good care of us~ from where to shop for groceries, to good local eateries, and where the best farmers markets are. We highly recommend both the home and the owners.

    Highly recommend this home away from home, June 5, 2009 By Katie (New York, NY)
    I stayed in the Eastside Inn for a month and had a wonderful experience. The house is beautifully decorated, spacious, comfortable and just lovely! Unlike most short term stays, the kitchen here rocks! Also, Kathy, the owner, could not be more helpful and attentive and is great local resource for all the fun that is Austin.

    Great location, great house, great everything!, March 10, 2009 By Dianne (New Orleans, LA)
    While we stayed for only a long weekend, this was one of the best rental experiences I've ever had. House is clean, spacious and well decorated (claw foot tub, hello!) and the owners make sure to have certain necessities on hand (iron, hair dryer, towels). The location is great, too, just minutes from downtown. We will definitely stay here again!

    Wonderful Experience, January 21, 2009, By Katy R (Salt Lake City)
    I spent six weeks at this rental property in mid-winter with my five-year-old son, partner, and small dog. We had a wonderful time. The house is comfortable and clean, with great character and light. The kitchen is fantastic, lots of modern amenities. I loved the neighborhood, especially Natural Foods just a few blocks down (vegetarian cafe). I cannot stress enough how great the owners are: thoughtful, friendly, helpful, honest, and excited to show off a city they love to new people. (I did not know them before our stay.) They made our Austin visit an especially great experience. We hope to return as soon as possible. And the agave plant in the front yard is terrific.

    Great place!, April 1, 2009 By Tracy (Houston, TX)
    I stayed here for 2 nights with a party of 6, we had a great time. Its a great open layout, super clean and updated quite nicely for an older home. I would highly reccommend this property There are also a few cute little shops and a hair salon right next door!

    Beautiful, clean, convenient, artistic, February 26, 2009 By By Kristin W (San Francisco, CA)
    I came to Austin with 5 students for the Clinton Global Initiative University. A hotel was out of our budget and we are so grateful we found the Eastside Inn. It was cozier, more elegant, more refreshing than a hotel and far more affordable! And Kathy could not have been sweeter, true Texan hospitality. There are two beds and a futon and while we didn't need a blow up mattress, it made the sleeping arrangements more comfortable. She brought one over the moment we asked. If you are heading to Austin, skip the hotel and stay at the Eastside Inn. Oh, and if you cook....the kitchen is dynamite. Thanks Kathy!

    Great place! Great Location!, March 5, 2009 By Casey L (Lake Charles, Louisiana)
    It was a very clean place in a great location. Only a 5 dollar cab to 6th street. Awesome experience.
