This apartment was the perfect spot for our first visit to Austin. We arrived at the end of a long hot day involving a work related conference so I was most grateful to find cold beer in the fridge and a cool breeze on the deck where we could relax while planning the rest of our stay. Crystal left a binder full of ideas for nearby restaurants, music venues and outdoor activities which was very helpful and on point. All her recommended East Austin restaurants that we tried were great: Gotham (Italian with a trendy NYC vibe) and Eastside Tavern (BBQ) were within easy walking distance. Nearby Licha’s has delicious traditional Mexican fare and The Launderette was fun for Sunday brunch.
The apartment itself is tastefully decorated and was complete with all the comforts of home. There is a lot of natural light which made it a cozy hangout in the morning while we lingered over the delicious coffee that was provided.
We really enjoyed the East Austin neighborhood. There is a lot going on here and it was conveniently located to all that we wanted to do and see.
We found Crystal to be a most gracious, thoughtful and responsive host. Highly recommend this place!
