Amber and john were so hospitable and kind, and the apartment was so cute and lovely. I mainly took ubers and lyft while staying there as I would say walking to south congress is about a 1.5 mile walk. If you are down for a bike ride, the hosts have bikes you can borrow. The neighborhood was safe and suburban and pretty centrally located. Austin's a great city with lots of character! I think anyone would have a wonderful time here and this place makes it feel like you're a home away from home :)
