Perfect location for our two-week stay in Austin. Short walk to bus stops or a 15 minute walk to downtown or to Lady Bird Lake, where we took the pedestrian walkway under the Mopac to cross the Colorado River. At other times we crossed using the Lamar pedestrian bridge south of downtown, part of the same pedestrian loop. We loved the apartment (studio above their house) and neighborhood itself, with long walks looking at historic houses and (for us) exotic vegetation.
Marilyn was a wonderful host, although she was on vacation at the time of our stay - but she was always available on the phone or through Rose, who was house-sitting in her place. They were both very thoughtful and accommodating and frequently touched base to see if we needed anything to make our stay more enjoyable. After asking about our preferences, Marilyn left bottles of water, Topo Chico and yogurt in the fridge, and a few snacks on the table, all very nice touches. And there was a Nespresso machine!
Couldn't find a better place for us in Austin. Highly recommended.
