We were in town for the Austin marathon so I chose this place for the location. It was great. We walked from the apartment to the Palmer Event Center for the race packet pick-up. We walked past a ton of restaurants and bike rental shops and gelato places. I didn't think the Barton Springs pool (across the street) would be open in February but it was and I wish we had brought our swim suits. The trails and the park and the sculpture garden were all nearby attractions adding to the appeal. The kitchen was great. Lots of towels for showers. We had 4 people and plenty of towels. The hosts were very flexible on check-in time which was super helpful. The furniture isn't real comfortable but we didn't spend much time there. Too much to see and do in Austin. The apartment looked just like the pictures and it had everything we needed.
