Prior to going on this trip, we had only stayed with really hands-off hosts. So we were a little surprised when Chris welcomed us as soon as we stepped out of our uber, introduced us to his dogs and goats, and gave us a tour of the neighborhood. It made a huge difference! We felt at home right away and knew how to get the the many awesome shops and restaurants within walking distance. The place was clean, comfy, and captured that quirky Austin vibe. It had everything we needed from umbrellas to sunscreen to wine. He is a super host for a reason!!
