Where to start? Chris was a fantastic host. The best, in fact, I've ever been privy to stay with. He started by picking my friend and I up from the airport, during rush hour. Yes, rush hour. His condo is simple and well thought out, and includes a saltwater swimming pool that I truly couldn't get enough of. Located in South Austin, it was within in walking distance of so many great restaurants and bars, that it was tough to choose. He really embraced the spirit of the people of Austin, which I found to be some of the nicest people I've ever met.
