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!
