My husband and I went to Austin for our anniversary, since we had our first date there. I used to live in Austin so am very familiar with the area. We chose Chris's place based mainly on location and great value, and will definitely be returning because the place was even better than it looked online! The decor is super cute and very "Austin", with a super comfy bed, really cute and comfortable furnishings, and everything you could need to enjoy your time there. There's a record player with a good little selection of vinyl which we used all weekend. Plenty of bath products, a Topo Chico fridge, books to read, info. about Austin and a full kitchen. We actually made a whole dinner for ourselves one night with goodies from the Farmer's market and just enjoyed the place! Chris is a super cool host, who met us when we arrived and was extremely helpful with info., suggestions, and even brought us over a couple of extra things we needed to make dinner prep easier (he lives next door). The property is really interesting, with an adorable goat named Pumpkin and 2 very sweet dogs who made things fun. Chris is quick with responses and is very accommodating. The location is fabulous, in easy walking distance to S. 1st St. AND S. Congress - we parked our car in front and didn't move it all weekend! This place is the perfect Austin headquarters - we can't wait to stay again!
