If you are staying at Lynda's place, consider yourself lucky! My kids (11 & 14) and I were visiting family in the same neighborhood so it was perfect for us. But I think the location is very good overall, with the Con Madre taco truck across the street (very good breakfast tacos), HEB supermarket a couple of blocks away, and lots of good food that's a short drive away. Communication with Lynda was smooth and easy. She gives you all the codes you need to enter the complex and apartment. The apartment was great! We had everything we needed and more! Some people say, "mi casa, su casa," but we truly felt like Lynda meant it. Highly recommend!
