The Neighborhood:

Chestnut, darling, is East Austin with a side of sass. It’s where vintage bungalows and bold street art vibe together, and every corner has its own personality—just like the locals. Here, brunching is a competitive sport, tacos are practically a religion, and you're always just a quick stroll away from the next hipster hideaway or live music jam. It’s effortlessly cool, with a little grit and a lot of charm.

Family gathering for UT grad

Very nice stay. Carpets upstairs are in need of some cleaning, the washing machine (eventually got it working) and oven were out of order. That part would’ve been nice to know ahead of time as we had menu’s already outlined, and we had to change all meal plans. Aside from that, the host was very responsive, great location, and we had a wonderful time.
