My family of 6 (our children are 6 - 15 yrs) had a great stay! The location was perfect for us. We wanted to explore the SoCo art and food district from close-by digs. We only live about :35 away, but it was nice having a "home" only :05 away from where we wanted to be.

The original plan was to go to Hamilton Pool the first morning of our stay, but a mishap on the way precluded us from that plan. Nonetheless, we thoroughly enjoyed the view of St. Edwards and the idyllic little tree-lined neighborhood. It was safe, beautiful, and convenient to where we wanted to be.

The pantry and fridge were stocked, but there was still room for us to add our own groceries and leftovers from our foodie excursions. The closet full of games and artists supplies also afforded us some memory-making downtime when we weren't exploring. The beds were comfortable, the shower great, the dishes ample, the space well-decorated, and the world map a dinner time conversation piece. We felt so at home!

If you stay at Brooks' place, we highly recommend breakfast at Gourdough's and Izzozz Tacos, then a perusal of Lovely across the street. Don't miss a family portrait in front of the "Greetings from Austin" mural on the side of Roadside Relics, then grab lunch at Bouldin Creek Café (the blueberry cornbread is a MUST).

There were so many places we wanted to visit that will have to wait for another trip. If Brooks' house is available, we'll definitely make it our "second home" again!
