The S/O and I like to rent Airbnb's during our travels, and I must say Crystal's mini cottage stands out the most. From the moment we checked in, it felt like home. It was stocked with many, many amenities--a dishwasher, a washing machine and dryer pair, a nice stove and kitchen utensils. We were able to cook ourselves breakfast just like home. The little cottage is very modern, but Crystal has designed this house to both be functional yet sleek. The king size bed was super comfortable, the pillows--I wanted to take home with us!
She also stocked fresh fruits in the cottage, which to us was very thoughtful and we took most of them to our river trips. Also, the champagne was very unique!
The rest of the kitchen had essentials plus more for anyone's stay; she runs her Airbnb in a 'pass it forward' note, meaning previous tenants can leave useful things behind for future tenants.
As Crystal acknowledges, there are two bars next to this cottage so it can get loud at night. Even in the weekdays it was rather loud, but utilizing noise-cancelling music are enough. Nothing too rowdy. With that in mind, East side Austin is filled with many different bars and eateries which we checked out and liked!
We come to Austin every summer... Looking forward to returning to Crystal's cottage! Thank you for the wonderful stay.
