This was a great homebase to explore Austin and conveniently located to many things we wanted to do -- Congress Bridge bats, food trucks on South First and South Congress, close enough to downtown attractions and we loved shopping at the local H.E.B. (they have great fresh catfish) since we were cooking breakfast and some dinners at Tiny House. Going backwards,it was really great to find a welcoming stocked refrigerator which was so nice after a long day of traveling. My 13-year old son could walk in 10 minutes to the basketball court at Little Lacy Park and take a dip in the pool when he got hot. It was a great place for a family (we have two teens). Liz
