Exactly as pictured, this apartment is just secluded enough to feel relaxing, but close enough to everything as well. Even in a city where having a car is more or less a necessity, we did plenty of walking in the area to check out local restaurants and the shops on South Congress, then took a Car2Go or a taxi into downtown in 10 minutes or less. We also spent a few minutes each morning sitting on the terrace, taking in the beautiful Austin morning and searching for pecans on the pecan trees, but I guess they haven't flowered yet. Oh well.

David and Ellen reached out right away and made getting settled a breeze. We didn't ask for much, but then again we didn't have to because everything was all set right from the start. Very positive experience overall.
