What a find! Our trip to Austin was awesome in large part due to our stay at Rock 'n Roll Central. Cozy, private place in a residential neighborhood just a short walk to and central to many attractions. We didn't want to take a car everywhere and have to find parking. So we chose this place specifically for its proximity to many points of interest all within a reasonable walking distance. ie. Franklin BBQ (literally 3 blocks away), and even closer are great little neighborhood bars, diverse eateries/more BBQ places and boutique shops. Downtown was only a 10min walk (music venues, nightlife, the State Capitol and a little further U of Texas...). Any places further (ie. South Congress) were a quick/short rideshare trip away. The description was accurate. We loved being able to easily walk back and take a nap/unwind between our daytime hours spent out/sightseeing and going back out for the night. The neighborhood is super quiet during the day and has the usual activity of a residential neighorhood later in the afternoon/evening.
We could tell our hosts Ashley and Robin put a lot of love into this place -- we appreciated all the thoughtful details and amenities (extra blankets, fans, recommendations list, a well supplied kitchenette with little welcome drinks). And wow, the personality too, with the music posters, rock memorabilia etc. Not your typical vanilla hotel-like room. It really gave us a great sense of place, how special Austin is, and how special music is to our hosts! Definitely recommend!
