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!

Perfect location and fully equipped.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a great location, we were able to walk to many restaurants and bars. It was very quiet at night. The place was clean and had everything we needed. We travelled with our dogs so being pet friendly was amazing. We wish we had longer and would definitely return.

This was a perfect little house in a very quiet neighborhood. We were in town for the Pearl Jam shows at Moody Center and the location was great for Ubers to and from the venue. The next time I'm in town, I'll definitely check to see if this place is available!

This place was dirty. White towels were discolored to yellow/brown. The soap and shampoo in the shower was completely out. The RAID was beneath the kitchen sink and not child proofed (not kid safe!). We had to leave the day of due to these reasons. We would never book here again!
