Overall our rental was what we expected and good for what we were there in Austin to do - walk around and explore the city and eat! The large tub was a plus, so bring your own salts or bubble bath to enjoy it even further.
Yes, there is construction going on nearby, but the noise level wasn't too much of an issue when we stayed there. We were out of the rental most days and didn't come back until 3:00pm or later, so this might only be a problem if you were planing on being at the rental during the day and needed absolute peace and quiet.
You will need to walk up a hill (it is a small hill but it is steep) from South Congress to access the pedestrian "sidewalk" into the apartment community. If you are on foot and have mobility issues or do not have a higher activity level, then this may be a little tough to navigate. There is no designated sidewalk for pedestrians leading up to the rental once you have gone through the gate; you will need to just hug the sides of the parking areas - this is all on a slight incline. I was 5 months pregnant when we stayed here and was generally able to navigate the walk fine, but I am pretty active.
The biggest benefit for us staying here was its central location to several places we wanted to check out and its proximity to South Congress Street; its about a 15-17 minute walk across the bridge to downtown Austin. Further south from the rental are tons of fun shops, restaurants and coffee spots to check out.
