Spatious, bright, comfortable flat. A ”new loft” with high ceiling and everything in one big space. The fact that this is somebody’s place, not just a flat to let in Airbnb, adds to the character. The room arrangement and furniture is well-thought. I am choosy, but I loved staying here. Thank you!
The location is good without a car too: you can walk home from the centre through the busy (and further out still populated) 6th, the grocery store (HEB) is two blocks away, bus stops for several lines are nearby, there are ample of electric bikes (and scooters) to rent by minute around (the place to cross I35 by bike is the 4th street), and usually many Uber drivers are also circulating there. Furthermore, the superb Greater Goods Cafe is virtually next door and there are ample of good lunch and dinner options nearby. And if you do have a car or rent one for a weekend, you have a garage spot underneath your building.
The neighbourhood is gentrifying rapidly, but it still has diversity, which makes it more comfortable and interesting.
The freight train (1-2 times per night) mentioned in several reviews is indeed very noisy. It did not bother me, but I can imagine light sleepers are disturbed. Otherwise the place is very quiet. Thanks to the well-thought condo layout, you do not even have wall to wall neighbours in the main living area. I would return and stay again here anytime. I wish I will have a chance.
