Outstanding all around!

We stayed at Eastside Flats for 4 nights, and it has everything! Nice touches throughout and great deck, which feels like a treehouse. Ryan is great, and location is too. Can't say enough good things.

Everything was perfect

Ryan and Jenny were unbelievably accomidating while traveling with our 6 month old. The place is lovely and set back in a little hidden oasis. It was recently built and the design and finishes are perfect and true to the pictures. There is a beautiful vegetable garden and friendly dogs all around. They put a ton of love into building their guest house and it continues to show as they host you. We loved hanging out on the private deck while our little guy napped, watching the dogs play and listening to the birds while drinking Topo Chico. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and will definitely recommend it to friends and family. Thanks for helping make our first Austin trip awesome.

Beautiful and modern!

We stayed in the upper flat and it was extremely clean, modern, and comfortable. Our hosts, Ryan and Jenny, were excellent hosts. The flat was close to downtown and had parks, golf courses, and cool restaurants within 5-10 minutes away. We loved the flat and would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Austin up close!

About the host

Hosted by Ryan Rinaldi

Hi there, I'm Ryan Rinaldi, your host here at Austin's Eastside Flats.
In a former life I was a teacher, coach, and sales executive. Now, I am a proud dad who has the opportunity to work from home and raise my son with my lovely lady, Jenny. Along with managing our flats I enjoy spending time with friends and family, woodworking and playing outside.
You'll find my woodwork throughout the flats, for example, the bathroom vanities, window treatments, barn door, the terrace and staircase.
Jenny and I love hosting guests and helping them experience our fantastic city. Let us know what we can do to make your stay wonderful.

Why they chose this property

We love hosting out-of-town friends and family, however we live in a small house. So we decided to build a guest house in our backyard. When our friends and family aren't staying in our brand new guesthouse (2016) we have it available for visitors to Austin. Being close to The University of Texas, downtown Austin and all the sights makes Eastside Flats a perfect location to call home for a few days.

What makes this property unique

Location, Location, Location... You are in a great eastside neighborhood close to great dining options, excellent bars and a walk, bike ride or short car ride to the University of Texas, downtown Austin, 6th St, Zilker Park, ACL Live @ the Moody Theater, Rainey St, Manor Rd, and other great Austin attractions.

Our guests tell us how much they love hanging out on the Upper Flat deck, listening to music or just enjoying the view of tree tops and moontowers.
