What a beautiful spot. As described - 8 blocks to trendy SoCo, about a 30 minute walk (or a quick, cheap cab - $7) to the convention centre/downtown Austin but it feels like you are at a cottage. It's quiet, serene - you are surrounded by nature. In true Austin style, Charlotte & Wolf are artists, and the personalized touches throughout the Forest Retreat make it special. Communication was easy, quick and efficient. Recommend for anyone who wants a unique spot surrounded by nature so close to everything Austin has to offer.
