Crystal's place was perfect for our short but colourful stay in Austin. There are numerous great bars and food trucks within literally a stone's throw of the house. I mean 40 yards away. No noise at night for those who like to sleep, except a dim hum from The Craftsman, ended at 11pm. Crystal's guide book is perfect. Our advice, take her advice but definitely start with a walk up Caesar Chavez and just stumble across the bars on the street as you make your way into Austin Downtown. Make sure you hit up Rainey St and 6th Street.
The cottage was perfect, a huge comfortable bed, great A/C, clean, tidy and everything you could want if you're looking to cook and eat in. Otherwise just sit back and enjoy all that Austin has to offer.
Love the pay it forward policy with the fridge, left some craft IPAs in the fridge as I polished off a few beers left behind from the previous guests. 5/5!
