Chris was the most super sweet gracious host you are ever likely to meet. It is clear he does this because of his love for the city in which he lives. When we arrived he took us on a guided tour and pointed out all the great places to eat and drink in the surrounding neighborhoods. His choices were always spot on and really added to our enjoyment of the area. I cannot thank him enough for giving us his insight and for being constantly available to provide us with information and help to get the most out of our trip. The place itself is absolutely perfect. Great location so close to everything that's cool about Austin, and it has everything you could ever need for a comfortable stay. He even left a few (premium) frosty beers and a few waters in the fridge when we arrived to help us to settle in. The bed was super comfy, the kitchen was well appointed and the bathroom was excellent too. Oh, and his dogs are sweethearts!!
