I contacted Chalu as one of a handful of last minute requests for a place to crash in Austin, she was the only one that could accommodate me. Everything was seamless - she communicated very well and all went just as she explained, even though I checked in "after hours". Her house is in an older but nice little neighborhood tucked away off of 290, it's super simple to jump right onto 290, 35, or 183. Everything was very clean and all labeled in the house so there was no guessing, the bed was comfy and the place was very quiet! I got to meet Chalu in person before I left in the morning...she is friendly and cheerful and very helpful, as was evident by her assisting an overseas guest of hers with rental car details. I would definitely stay with her again!
