Barton Springs was the perfect location for me - easy to get into UT and downtown 8-5 on bike and bus (803 runs every 10 mins or so) and lovely to come home to for swimming in the Springs and cycling the trails at the weekend. The apartment is great with views over the city and the mart next door. Bus stops are a short bike ride away but the metro rapid is a great service , so no problem. Just a really safe and very very pleasant neighbourhood. Dr G
