My husband and I rented the South Lamar Zilker Cottage for the weekend of the Formula 1 race. The location was great, but we still gravitated over to South Congress every day. We did hit a couple of the local coffee shops, the brewery and Olivias for brunch. The area is busy, with a lot to do and a lot of development happening. We didn't have a car, so we walked to South Congress almost every day and it's a great walk.

The cottage is exactly as described and well big enough for 2. We didn't utilize the kitchen, but it would have what you need for however long you were going to be there. It's cute and well appointed.
