This was the perfect place to stay in the heart of all that Austin has to offer! Check-in was easy, the apartment is super spacious and exceptionally clean with all the modern comfort to make you feel at home away from home. Extra thank you to the hosts for the cold sparkling water and Austin Eastciders which were a nice and unexpected welcome upon arrival! Shout out also for the rain shower and the exceptionally cozy/comfortable bed! The apartment is tucked away in a quiet nook with so much to do just beyond the doorstep.
The location is the S. Lamar neighborhood just "south of the river," aka in a very happening/hip part of town with tons of bars/restaurants (and the Broken Spoke dance hall!) + Alamo Drafthouse within walking distance. Some great food/drinking spots we walked to were Gourdough's, Matt's El Rancho and El Naranjo. If it weren't so hot in August, we'd have also walked to Gibson's Bar, Black Sheep, El Meson, Barton Springs Saloon, Corner Bar and maybe Black's BBQ - but Uber was a quick and cheap alternative. ALSO - this place is only a 5 minute drive from Downtown and the must-do Barton Springs/Zilker Park! A nice bonus was having beach towels provided for the latter :)
We will definitely stay here again in the future! Highly recommend!
