We spent one night in Angela and Ian's nicely furnished, one bedroom with secluded patio and "conveniently" located Stone Cottage!
We flew in at 4PM and by 5PM, only 15 minutes away, we were settled in to peruse "SoCo" shops, enjoy Tex-Mex at Gueros and hear some live music at 3 locations (C-Boy's, Gueros & Continental Club). Even bought a cowboy belt at Allen's Boots and some nitrogen ice cream from The Science Cream food truck across from Gueros.
Breakfast at Curras Grill the next morning was another classic "interior Mexico" delight (recommend Chilaquiles) before heading off to explore the Hill Country environs for 5 days.
We then stayed at the Hyatt Regency (terrific location) for 2 nights after our tour. Great trip with a great start!
Highly recommend Angela and Ian's Stone Cottage!
Enjoy!
