Crystal's place is even more beautiful in person than it is in pictures - no disappointment here. I wish that I could live here full time. Her communication about check in, check out, and other important details you need to know is very clearly communicated in advance and via a professional welcome packet when you arrive. The guest house is peaceful and private, stylish yet simple, clean and comfortable with high-end appliances and fixtures. Great shower and kitchen, and the bed was super comfy. I didn't want to leave! Austin itself is a fun and funky city with its own unique character. Delicious food was just around the corner - I ate at La Barbecue and there are many other great places nearby. It is only a 20 minute walk from Crystal's place to the heart of downtown Austin and the hub of SXSW at Austin Convention Center. I was close enough to still hear the pulse of music at night but not have my sleep disrupted. Thanks, Crystal!
