If you're looking for an affordable spot to truly conquer Austin, you can't get much better than this space. It's perfect for travelers looking to squeeze every second out of Austin that they can. We sure did.

This loft is central and well furnished (the couch is SUPER comfortable.) All of downtown is accessible on foot and the rest of the city is a bus ride away (There's a bus stop a few blocks west. I recommend downloading the easy to use CapMetro app.) We walked to the Graffiti Park, all the way down East 6th, to the 24 Diner on Lamar (twice - best food we had in Austin), Waterloo Records, to UT+The Drag, and to South Congress. We snagged a 10 minute bus ride to Zilker Park and Barton Springs.

A few small cons that should be noted though:
- If you plan on doing any cooking, there are no basic supplies (salt, pepper, olive oil, etc.)
- In theory, around 6 or 7 people could fit into the space but there's only one bathroom. If you really gotta go, I recommend a walk across the street to the beautiful Driskill Hotel.
- I would by no means call the view from the balcony "amazing" but it's still a ton of fun. Too hot to hang out on during the day but we spent at least an hour up there every night.
- Parking is super expensive but avoidable. A car is honestly unnecessary.
- The shower handles are a little weird. By the end of the trip, none of us had really figured out how to use them. Lots of trial and error.

We had an absolute blast in Austin and Top Trip was a big part of it. I probably corresponded with three different employees while planning our trip. Every one was pleasant and accommodating. Every phone call and email was immediately responded to. They were even considerate enough to upgrade our apartment to the 7th floor when they had an opening.
