We came to Austin for SXSW interactive and Crystal's place was perfect. It was a little Oasis to escape the Madness of downtown, and a lovely mile or so bike ride from the conference via the 'bike highway.' This was my first time staying in East Austin and I LOVED the neighborhood, we felt right at home right away. Tons of cool spots like Flat Track coffee, Veracruz Tacos, and Stay Gold bar. Crystal's communication couldn't be beat . . . we look forward to coming back next year!
