I came into Austin for the Austin Film Festival and was deciding whether I should stay downtown or somewhere else. I have to say, Chad and Lauren's place in East Austin was the perfect spot. It was enough removed to where I could get some peace and quiet but close enough, that if I wanted to, I could take a 30 minute walk to the center of downtown. The location and space were wonderful. It was close to so many awesome food and coffee spots. They provided a list of their favorites so it was really easy to decide where to go. The house was wonderful, quiet and bright. They had all of the amenities and lots of blankets! It was hot during the day but cold at night, so the blankets came in handy. Overall my experience was fantastic. I would love to stay there again and also stay in East Austin again. It was the perfect location to experience Austin!
