We had a wonderful time staying in the loft for a long weekend exploring Austin! Very cozy and everything we needed was there. We appreciated the extra beach/pool towels for taking with us to Barton Springs. The neighborhood is walkable to a bunch of good food and music on South Lamar St., S. Congress, and S. 1st, and we learned a couple of bus routes and one of the local rideshare apps to get to downtown or further south - totally doable without a car, even in the heat!
