If you are looking for the perfect crash pad in East Austin Sarah has you covered. Super communicative and friendly without ever compromising personal space, you can tell Sarah is a natural host. The space is immaculately clean and well appointed with washer/dryer (which is a plus for people like us who excercise every morning outside). The fridge had local beer and Topos in it when we arrived (nice touch and thank you).

A couple of notes:

This is a perfect spot for a couple of people or small family that is interested in being active around town and only using the space to clean up in between coming and going and sleeping at night, I wouldn't recommend this as a great spot to hang out or try and entertain even the smallest of groups. While the apartment is comfortable and accommodating, the bathroom is quite small (even for two), and the backyard, although off limits to guests (absolutely understandable and no problem), is utilized by Sarah's family/children and can mean drawn shades in the apt. for privacy. I would also recommend a car in this neighborhood. Although East Austin has grown up over the years with trendy nightlife now close by this apt., to take advantage of what the entire city has to offer, you need your own wheels (especially when it's hot; see spring/summer/fall). The best of this town is still spread all over.
