Melissa is a warm and friendly host, and took time to make some local recommendations. Her house is clean, simply furnished but comfortable, and has a modern, fresh, colorful appearance. The location is a rustic neighborhood and quiet. A car is highly recommended as the major sights and activities are closer to the center of the city, or further afield of course. However, the drive to the downtown area or South Congress is relatively quick and simple to navigate. Overall, Melissa's place was a good spot for a base to explore ATX and the surrounding area. It's a cool town with lots going on - we had fun, thank you!
