Top Trip's listing saved my bacon. Some major events on the weekends bookending my 2 night trip made downtown hotel rooms scarce or ridiculously expensive. This listing was conveniently located right across from the historic Driskell Hotel at a fraction of the cost. Coordination with Top Trip was clearly communicated ahead of time and went smooth as silk. This also included parking rental, which seems a bit daunting when you first the agreement, but makes perfect sense once you're on site.

Top Trip will mention this, but it must be stressed that the City Loft is *in the heart of downtown Austin*, not up in a high rise, and not soundproofed like a hotel. You are definitely in audio range of the 6th street music scene until well into the evening. The sounds of late night street activity will probably leak into your dreams. If you are a light sleeper plan on using earplugs (helpfully provided) or choose another listing.

The furnishings and decor were pedestrian but sufficient for me and my colleague. Cleanliness was top notch. The walking convenience more than made up for the lack of opulence. I highly recommend this listing especially if you are committed to activities in the downtown Austin area and I would definitely stay again.
