Truly marvelous base for visiting Austin, or just relaxing. Barton Springs, Barton Springs Pool, and Zilker Park are a stone's throw away. Barely further (though blocks of quiet residential neighborhood) are the restaurants and bars of South Lamar (indeed, we walked to and from our night out). Hillside means that this downstairs apartment is still in the canopy of the trees. Beautiful full-length windows in kitchen and living areas means you take in the very peaceful view. Mark was wonderful, making sure we could light our fire table in the outside patio area, and even made paddleboards available. Really clean and modern kitchen and bathroom. In short, if available, we plan to book here on return visits.
