Sue's place was the perfect place to stay. It was a rare find for a place to have two separate REAL beds at this price. Most had one bed and one pull out or futon. The beds were very comfy with plenty of pillows and soft linens. Her place was stocked with any and everything we needed. There were a few ice cold water bottles and beers in the fridge waiting for us when we arrived. Much appreciated after lugging our bags up in the heat! The TV had Netflix, and there was also a jar of jelly beans and popcorn for us to snack on. Plenty of towels and all the toiletries we could possibly need. She even had sunscreen and makeup remover wipes! Unfortunately, the bottle was expired, but there were all very thoughtful touches that made us feel at home.
The location was great. A few blocks from the action on 6th, but far enough that there was not a lot of street noise from the late night crowds. Many of the food/drink and music hotspots were within short walking distance. Transportation was super easy. A Lyft or Uber was always a minute or two away, and there were plenty of scooters or bikes scattered about nearby to hop on and go. As expected from reading other reviews and description of the place, there are a lot of homeless folks that hang out in front of and around the apartment, but they never bothered us when we walked by.
Also as indicated in the description, there was construction happening across the street that can get loud and will likely wake you up in the morning. This was expected though, since we read it in the description. However, I didn't expect there to be a lot of noise from the neighbors. The walls seem very thin in this building, so there was a lot of noise coming from the next door and upstairs neighbors. Since we were staying over Labor Day weekend, when some late nights were expected, and already anticipated the construction noise, it was not too bothersome.
All in all, Sue's place was a great place to stay, and I would love to stay there again if I ever find myself in ATX again!
