This is a cute bungalow on the east side down downtown. I like the layout, the roominess, the wood textures okaying off the concrete. Surprisingly roomy place.
Didn’t love the curtain set up as I felt like I had to be in darkness to have privacy from the across the hall neighbors. Perhaps light-filtering Roman shades with curtains overplayed would be nice for flexibility. But it didn’t make or break my stay in any way.
Within a mile is 6th which has loads of restaurants. There is a nice pick up place, Lou’s, about 10 minutes walk. The neighborhood took me by surprise as it’s a mix of nice, new homes, older cottages and boarded up buildings. As time went on (I’m a walker), I felt safer and safer.
The kitchen is stocked to a basic level. I ate out all meals so needs were met. Full-sized refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave. There are basics in a cupboard: salt, sugar, oils, etc. I appreciate that.
Outdoors: It looks like construction will begin on the lot next door. Would check on that. Cute little front area features nice seating for outdoor reading.
I felt the value/quality didn’t stack up to the price (perhaps overly inflated due to SXSW being in town. But that is a risk best taken if the property delivers) as the Apt is feeling a bit worn and didn’t feel special. Over time things need refreshing. That said, the photos were mostly reflective, just taken a while ago.
Roman and team were responsive with requests. I broke a coffee mug, momentary clumsiness) and left $5 for the inconvenience.
Wi-Fi worked well for the duration of my stay. Streaming, zoom, etc.
