My mom and I enjoyed our stay at Almog’s place. It provided us a quiet retreat at the end of each day of our exploration of Austin. Almog provided a list of recommended things to do/see/eat, and that came in handy multiple times.
The sleeping and living room space was adequate and comfortable for 2 people, and I can imagine it would work for 2 couples as well. It would be challenging to cook a meal in the kitchen given the limited essentials and needing to purchase basics such as olive oil. We ate breakfast in the kitchen everyday by keeping it simple with yogurt and oatmeal. The provided coffee was thoughtful though we had to buy decaf K-cups for my mom.
We liked the quiet neighborhood and proximity (20 minute walk) to Zilker Park (many things to do there), Barton Springs, and hiking options. Downtown required a shared car ride (Uber, Lyft) of ~$10, and other destinations further away (University, etc.) ran closer to $15. We walked and used a shared car ride a lot as the location is not very close to the typical tourist destinations.
Overall, our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. I’d recommend Almog’s place.
