Laura and Mark own a fabulous contemporary home with a wonderful studio out back. I stayed for nine nights and they worked very hard to make me feel welcome and comfortable and that included supplying me with fresh fruit and breakfast fixings. The unit was clean, bright, comfortable and reasonably quiet, especially considering the proximity to downtown and Barton Springs Rd. The parking situation wasn't ideal, though that was only a challenge for a few days since most of the time I used a rented bicycle to get around. Having said that, street parking is legal and Laura and Mark were very accommodating by parking their cars out of the way most of the time. The location was only two miles from my business hotel (Courtyard by Marriott) so walking or biking into downtown was easy.
