Our stay at Austin’s Capital View Penthouse over Christmas was simply perfect. We were welcomed with a lovely bottle of wine and a note from Cari, our host. Cari was wonderful to deal with -- she was incredibly warm and responsive to any questions and offered so many great suggestions for activities and places to eat. The accommodations were ideal for our family of 4 that included our two adult sons. The bedrooms were all comfortable and nicely decorated. The penthouse was modern, very clean, spacious and perfectly quiet -- everything we were hoping for! The kitchen is well set up with all the basic utensils, glassware, cookware and appliances. There is a washer and dryer too. Parking is easy in a lot connected with the building. The apartment's location is great, just west of downtown and close to Lady Bird Lake and bike/hike trails and parks. There are a lot of restaurants and businesses close by. Whole Foods is only a mile away and walkable if you want a bit of exercise. Swedish Hill Bakery is very nice for coffee and a light breakfast. Other great restaurants we enjoyed (more of a drive or Uber) included a great Christmas eve dinner at Emmer & Rye, fabulous modern Mexican food at Suerte, and Kemuri Tatsu-ya for amazing Japanese/barbecue/Tex-Mex fusion food -- not to be missed! We did a trail ride out in Blanco, about an hour away, which was super fun -- give Travis P Trail Rides a call if you want some authentic Western riding! And if you are into experiential art, check out Wonderspaces in Austin! Zilker Park's holiday Trail of Lights tour was a classic Austin holiday experience too. All in all, our stay at Austin’s Capital View Penthouse provided us with the opportunity to enjoy a memorable family Christmas...Big shout out and THANK YOU to Cari!
