Crystal's place is awesome with a lot of personal touches. The description online is very accurate and met our needs perfectly. The 3 bedrooms were very spacious and well decorated and the living areas were large enough to easily hold our group of 5. Her place was within walking distance (or a short ride share) from many of the awesome East Austin BBQ, food and drink joints. We also walked over to the UT campus and stadium and it's not very far to downtown Austin and trendy locales such as Rainey and 6th St.
Crystal has a "pay it forward" approach for various household and kitchen items where we arrived to a well stocked pantry and refrigerator with beer and wine. Crystal is also an excellent host - very quick to respond to questions, lots of local area tips and flexible with check in and check out times. We had a great time and definitely recommend it to anyone who travels to Austin and East Austin.
