We were in Austin to drop our daughter off for her freshman year at UT. The apartment is within walking distance to the edge of the campus but we rented a car since we were warned about the August heat. That was a good move. The apartment comes with a covered parking space and was convenient as we shuttled to and from the campus. Nearby restaurants are mainly chains (Domino's, McDonald's, Subway, Jimmy John's) unless you walk further or drive. Our daughter stayed with us for a few nights and slept on the comfortable sofa bed. Alexis stocked the apartment with food and drinks, the place was clean and we had an easy check-in. Subsequently when we had questions, Alexis couldn't have been more responsive. The apartment is centrally located especially if you want to be close to the campus.
