The apartment is in a very convenient location. Everything you want to see in Austin is about 15 minutes away by car. We visited with a toddler, and were happy to discover we were less than a mile from three different parks which is a plus. You are also as close to a good supermarket and to a bunch of good restaurants. If you're going to the university, you can get there in like 15 or so minutes by Uber, taxi, Lyft, etc. The place itself is comfortable, feels safe, and has everything you need for a long stay.
