Chris was an excellent host and made you feel right at home from the start! He was gracious enough to provide snacks and a fully stocked refrigerator with an assortment of beverages.The SoCo cottage is within an easy walk to South Congress, as well as many local popular food trucks and restaurants located within the neighborhood. Chris knows the ends and outs of Austin and even gave us a tour to show us all the hot spots within the area. Thanks to Cars2Go (strongly recommended!) we were also able to explore downtown and Barton Springs, and there were always plenty of cars within a couple of blocks at all times of the day. There is a reason the SoCo Cottage is one of the top places to stay in Austin on airbnb, and I highly recommend checking it out the next time you're traveling to Austin!
