A cozy yet fully-appointed one-bedroom flat admirably suited to extended stay, very convenient (3-4 blocks) to the UT campus. Full kitchen with compact range, oven and dishwasher, microwave, fridge, toaster and coffee maker. The first two days being cold and sleety I made good use of the electric fireplace. The last day being sunny and in the 70's, I opened the windows and got a lovely breeze there on the third floor. Central air and heat as well as ceiling fans give a wide range of comfort options. Real hardwood floors, full bath and a small balcony on the shady side of the apartment complete the amenities.

Both apartment and furnishings looked quite new and fresh. Clever use of mirrors and color scheme give the rooms a spacious feel. Of course if you want to go out there are plenty of options for dining and entertainment within 15-20 minutes' drive, door-to-door.

The neighborhood was very quiet: there was some minor noise from passing traffic but none from neighbors. It also seemed quite safe: I noticed people walking, jogging and bicycling at all hours. There is reserved, covered off-street parking included in the price of rental.

Lupe is an accommodating and affable host: she was there to greet me and show me all the particulars of the place. I strongly recommend her and her property for anyone seeking a pleasant extended stay in Austin.
