There was a nice park, Shipe Park, for kids, within walking distance, only 8 blocks away. There was also a nice Juicebar, Juiceland, up on 45th, as well as several restaurants right on Duval St., up closer to 45th st.
The property is clean and very uncluttered. It's nicely furnished, and was a comfortable stay. We probably won't be back in Austin, but if we were, we would stay here again.
The neighborhood has some really nice old tree growth. The sidewalks are dimpled by tree roots and many of the back roads don't even have sidewalks but the roads are wide enough, it still makes for a nice neighborhood walk.
