long walk to lake and downtown, you wont feel it in the winter, but one thing i realise in austin, people are walking but majority stay in cars as heat ins extreme in summer, if your dont drive and dont want to call uber for every trip, a bike is a must here. there are buses, but its a 14-20 minute walk, not bad, but painful in summer. The thing i loved about dans place is the room is massive with you own bath and shower, unlikely to get this anywhere else. overall a good experience at dans place.
