Good size one bedroom in a great location for accessing downtown Austin. There is plenty to do, see, and eat all within walking distance from the apartment.

The apartment was clean with furniture that's in pretty good shape. My colleague who slept on the bed said it slept great. It's only a full-size bed though, so keep that in mind if you are considering sharing it with another person. There is also a comfortable futon and plenty of floor space for an air mattress.

The only downside of the place is parking. Marisa only had a visitor pass available, and there is a limited number of visitor parking. It may be that this rarely fills up, but on the Saturday night that we stayed there it was completely full when we got back from dinner (around 10:00pm). There was also a hot rod festival that was going on there on S. Congress, so that may have contributed to it. Sure enough, after about 20 minutes of waiting a tow truck came and towed one of the cars parked in the visitor spots that did not have a permit. So this can be a huge pain, but I believe Marisa that it rarely happens.

What kept me at a 5 star review was the fact that Marisa was very flexible on us checking in early and leaving late. She also was available by phone whenever we needed her. And she takes the time to leave plenty items that you may need (snacks, body wash & shampoo, toothpaste, Advil, ect.)

Overall, a fairly pleasant experience.
