We stayed here for a fun sibling getaway and the unit is gorgeous! GREAT VIEWS of the city. Local to so MUCH. We were able to just walk to Lady Bird Lake and enjoy the paddle boards that you can rent there at Congress Kayaks. We mostly just walked everywhere for food, shopping and fun! The unit is clean, and very stylish. The balcony was a highlight. To be able to watch the sky light up in the mornings while sipping hot tea on the balcony was so peaceful. Beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms were spacious.
There are some negatives. Getting into this building is like getting into Fort Knox. You have to follow at least 10 pages of instructions to gain access to the building. Then you have to gain access to the elevator. Then you have to gain access to your room. At least the instructions were very thorough. There were four of us in the unit but only ONE key card for the elevator and only ONE parking pass. We had 2 vehicles. So one of us had to pay $144 for parking there for 4 days. This was a majorly unexpected expense. Whenever we had an incident where I wanted to go shopping, but they wanted to go to the pool, I had to go without the elevator key card, so navigating the building without a key card is near impossible and takes some creativity. Also, they have noise detectors in the units. The noise detector in the unit caused us to keep receiving automated text about noise alerts. This was very stressful. Being threatened with a $500 fine puts a damper on a get together with my family. When I spoke with one of their employee's on 9/6 around 9:45PM, she was very helpful and told me the text was probably sent in error. That's when we were notified of the device in our unit. It was stressful worrying about noise when we were just all talking and playing music at a low volume on a speaker that is no bigger than a water bottle. There was one incident where we were on the balcony our first night there and we were playing music and talking after quiet hours. I rec'd a text about a noise complaint (not a noise alert) and I immediately responded and told them we are going inside. They were very understanding and respectful.
Overall I would probably stay again. It was a beautiful unit at a great location. I would just make sure to find a way to bring one vehicle and ignore the automated texts about noise alerts.
