Dan and Erin were great hosts. They were easy to coordinate with on check in and check out, and very helpful with suggestions for places to go near by. Most of our communication happened via text message which was easy for me since we were on the go most of the time. South Lamar is a great place to be if you want to be within walking distance to many things, and only 20 minutes from the airport. The garage apartment was exactly as pictured, clean, adequately furnished and well maintained with a sense of humor. You'll see as soon as you reach for a peppermint from the kitchen bar, or read one of the unique books on hand. Having wireless was nice, we were able to use our tablets and not waste data on our phones. We didn't use the TV, but they have many options to choose from. The closet was plenty big enough to hold any of the extra things you might ask for during a hotel stay, towels, a hair dryer, blankets.... not that we needed any, the weather was wonderful.

We didn't use much in the kitchen, but it was fully equipped to make a small meal. The bathroom is small, but the shower is great, There must be an inline water heater, because it heats up quickly.

We walked nearby to Fermentation fest at ABGB (Austin Beer Garden Brewing) and had a blast, it's less than 5 minutes away. We were also able to walk to Odd Duck, Barley Swine and the Highball, all places I would recommended visiting if you come stay with Erin and Dan. Irie Bean is great for coffee in the morning, as is Torchy's Tacos for breakfast. SoCo is only a 15 minute drive and Downtown is slightly farther, but still easy to get to.
