Crystal's lovely little cottage was the perfect fit for us -- a couple looking to explore all the hidden gems in Austin.
Check in was a breeze with the number-pad lock. The space super clean and had everything we needed, including two coffee makers, washer and dryer, and even some honor-system booze! Overall, it is even cuter and more comfortable than it looks in the photos.
The location is in the heart of "hip" East Austin, meaning we could walk to a ton of top-notch restaurants, coffee shops and bars, but it's also incredibly close to downtown and the airport. Crystal's welcome packet included a ton of suggestions on sights and activities, which we ended up using as our insider's guide for the weekend.
On our next visit to Austin, we will definitely be checking the availability of Crystal's place first.
