I enjoyed this rental very much. It was more important for me to be close to family in South Austin than to the downtown area. That being said I found getting to Zilker Park and South Congress a very easy commute. The rental is very spacious and bright. A highlight is having laundry in unit. Most neighbors are friendly, say hello and wave. There are many grocery stores, shopping malls nearby. You'd be well advised to obey the local speed limit especially in school zones. The back of the unit looks over the undeveloped space of an assisted living facility. It's peaceful and serene. Adonis was very good about addressing our concerns and good with communication. I would stay again. The neighborhood hosts a mix of incomes and housing. A word of warning, the unit is on the bottom level but is not ground level.
