The apartment is located on a side alley off a main street. This means you get the best of both worlds: nights are quiet and you can walk 5 minutes to be entertained.
S 1st and Congress are both within a 10 minute walk and the bus station to downtown is right around the corner. This makes it really easy to live here without a vehicle and still see a lot of what Austin has to offer.
The apartment itself is lovely, the host really put a lot of time in making it feel like home. The kitchen was fully stocked and there was enough toiletries in the bathroom for our extended stay.
The single downside with the apartment is the distance to a grocery store. If you don't have a car be prepared to walk 15 minutes each way. Or order delivery like we did!
