Raquel and Jacob's place was super duper convenient for walking around. We walked way East on 6th Street to White Horse and way South to all of the shops on South Congress. It's just a block from the Capitol and we had good drinks at the Driskoll, watched the bats come out from the bridge at dusk, and caught a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse. Jacob was super responsive to a couple of small issues, even bringing by a new coffee maker over the weekend.
A word of warning that the church bells are really loud at 8am so you might be served well by some earplugs, and when the heat is on (and I would imagine that this is normally not even an issue since it was unusually cold the weekend we were there) the windows in the bedroom really rattle and it sounds like a helicopter is hovering outside!
Thanks guys, we would definitely stay again!
