Crystal's guest cottage is centrally located in East Austin, walking distance from lots of great bars and restraunts and an easy commute downtown via transit or bike. (I took advantage of its close proximity to one of Austin's many bikeshare stations) The cottage itself was very private, spacious and well-appointed. It rained for most of my trip, but I felt very comfortable spending extra time inside the cottage. Crystal also prepared a list of recommendations upon arrival, including a rideshare service (no Uber or Lyft currently in Austin) that came in handy one rainy night. Thanks to Crystal for the wonderful cottage and the great hospitality!
