The neighborhood was nice, the place was comfortable, and really more spacious than the two of us needed. There are two markets (a large HEB and a smaller beer / wine shop with some groceries and take-away food items) located between the apartment and South Congress. It's about a 15 minute walk to the heart of SoCo, and we decided to drive once (because we're Texans and mostly Texans don't walk), but we ended up having to park so far away that we'd have been better off leaving the car at Garret's place.
