To start, if you care about architecture at all or if the sight of brand new houses strokes your fancy, the home and the detached guesthouse apt. (where we staid) are DWELL magazine worthy. The brand new one-bedroom apartment is in a great location in Austin right off I-35, but far enough away not hear the traffic; everything in it is new; it's spotless with a full kitchen & dishes, glasses and coffee mugs, which were a nice surprise. A very short (5-7 minutes?) and hilly drive to South Congress shopping and cafés via Annie St. brings you through a gorgeous wooded section of town with new and established homes. David is very nice and was a darling to give us a grand tour and a rundown of how everything in the place worked upon our kind of late arrival.
