Location, location, location! Had a wonderful stay at Clays, the neighborhood is fantastic and the location makes it easy to get to everything. If you are going out downtown and don’t want to walk I recommend grabbing a quick Uber/Lyft since parking can be a little tricky at times.
Although there is so much to do in Austin, here are some recommendations for things to do close to Clays:
1. Walk to the lake and grab a paddle board or swan boat; there are trails all around the lake to walk/jog or bike
2. Butler Park is right around the corner, in the evening there is a gorgeous view of the Austin skyline.
3. Drinks and appetizers at P6- located on the 6th floor of The Line hotel this place has gorgeous views of Town Lake and if you are there at sunset you get a great view of the bats emerging from Congress Bridge (@ 1.2 miles from Clays spot)
4. Waterloo Records - who doesn’t love to discover old vinyls! Located around 1.4 miles away it’s situated in a great shopping area off of N. Lamar next to the original Whole Foods, Anthropologie, Lululemon, Free People, REI, Amy’s ice cream and more!
5. Terry Blacks BBQ is 0.3 mile away from
Clays - you can stand in line for quite awhile or get online and grab an order for pick up
6. Brunch at Geraldines - @ 1.5 miles away located inside the Kimpton hotel
7. Mozart’s coffee shop - around 3.7 miles away this fun coffee shop is right on the lake with live music and a great bakery
8. Dinner at Lenoir - @ 1 mile away this place has it all: ambiance, great food and wine
Clays place is beautifully decorated and set up with all of the kitchen amenities you need. There is a Nespresso and drip coffee pot. I love the set up of the rooms. They are across the patio from each other and offer privacy. The main area has a kitchen, living room, bathroom and laundry area. The second room is set up w a desk to work and a private bathroom and closet. This set up is perfect for couples traveling together; friends traveling together and parents who have older ones who want their own space.
I look forward to visiting Clays space again soon!
