We enjoyed the convenience of the Crash Pad while staying in Austin. We chose to rent a car for our stay and anything and everything we had on our agenda was right close by. You couldn't pick a better location! Just as described, there is ample street parking in front of the building. The check-in was easy and the host was quick and communicative and able to answer all of our questions. Highlights include the tasteful minimalist decor and cozy couch/netflix corner. There are plenty of outlets to charge your electronics both downstairs & in the loft and there is a lovely coffee and tea set up (we didn't use it, but it looked great). The bed wasn't as comfortable as we had hoped but all & all a fine stay.
