This a great place to stay. Very spacious and clean. The beds are comfortable with soft sheets. The living room furniture was not as comfy as I normally like but I love over stuffed furniture. The kitchen has a lot of what you need to make a meal. There are plenty of towels for showers. The air conditioner works great which is important in Texas.
If you are visiting for a weekend - parking is not a problem because it is free on the weekends and during the week after 6pm until 8am. If you are planning on being there awhile during the week there is a parking garage on Taylor that is across the street from the apartment. It is a safe place to leave your vehicle and safe to walk to and from even late at night. The meter police will write you a $45 ticket for parking in the paid spot at 8.01 am. You can only pay for two hours at a time, so it can be frustrating . You can park in the garage at 6th and Lamar and go buy a coffee from Buon Giorno’s or something from the grocery in the building and they validate. I did that for a while. There is no overnight parking there though, so you have to move I think by 7pm. I saw some people park overnight, but I did not want to take a chance my car would get towed.
Also Picchi Pacchi across 7th makes amazing pizza and salads. Buon Giorno Coffee across Lamar from the apartment in the First On 7th building has great coffee, and in the same building towards 6th street is a great speciality grocery called The Neighbor’s House Grocery that also serves breakfast and lunch foods. If you just want a soda, chips or other type of items - there is a small convenience store on the ground floor of the apartment building around the corner on Lamar at 6th - they stay open till 10pm. I usually went to get a bag of ice cuz there wasn’t an ice tray or ice maker in the apartment fridge when I stayed.
There is a great park across the way where you can walk your, dog and they even have poop bag stations if you forget yours. I loved watching the skate boarders practicing in the park. They do have a climbing area for kids. There are occasionally some homeless individuals who will nap in the park, but they do not bother anyone. They are just tired and need a rest.
I would stay here again if the need arose. I would also recommend it to any visiting family or friends as it is close to Sundance Square and other cool places to hang out.
