As I sit on my airplane on my way back to Boston with a hot coffee in hand, I felt it to be my civic duty and privilege to compliment Dylan and his beautiful flat.
I came down with 3 friends to enjoy ATX for our first time, along with some damn good football, as forever members of Longhorn Nation, presently.
We did not know much about the city. Where to go? What to eat? Isn’t queso just the Spanish word for cheese? So we said, why not ask Dylan. He seems like a good man per his bio. And hear is what happened next:
We walked into the flat. ‘Welcome to Austin, Dave’ beautifully scripted on a boutique piece of art. Gourmet chocolate chip cookies, a hand scribed note with ‘Fun Things to Do’.
Barton springs to refresh ourselves as we may not be accustomed to the Texas heat. Just down the road.
Zilker Park to stretch the legs and see the buzz that it is Austin. Next door.
Butler’s Pitch & Putt which is a fun 9 hole casual food and drinks par 3 course overlooking the skyline. Dylan took the time to look up my interests and noticed I enjoy golf very much…he left a sleeve up golf balls for each of us and had them customized to have our initials on them with a small longhorn logo. Wow.
Lady Bird Lake. I don’t need to say much here because with that name alone it can’t be bad!
Countless restaurant, bar, and shopping area recommendations thereafter. My personal favorite is Torchy’s Tacos. I could legitimately eat there every day for the rest of my years. I am now looking into ‘how can I franchise this in Boston.’
And I don’t feel the need to reiterate how cute and well manicured the flat and yard area are with plants, art, and unique tasteful items, but the place is lights out. Extremely efficient process to get in, change the temperature, get onto the Wi-Fi, etc. Seamless.
I’m not one to write reviews (good or bad), but the white glove treatment here must be documented. Well done. Cannot believe we just so happened to stumble upon a perfectly located and run operation. Well damn done.
