Pros - Nice place: impressed with double secure entries plus garage, good amenities (bath products, K-cups, creamers), quality pillows, futon/couch, window view of Austin high-rises. Right across the street great breakfast & coffee @ Cenote. La BBQ 1 mile. Reasonable (half to 1 mile) walking distance or rideshare (ZTrip or Uber - check prices) to 6th St (the nicer part, but did check out "Dirty 6th"), bars & food places, food trucks, The White Horse East Austin Honky Tonk, cocktail bars, beer joints, live music, as well as Rainey St. bars & food trucks. Walkable to a mini Target & Whole Foods. We had a car so could drive to further sites - South Congress, Capitol Building, Breweries, & restaurants on our list.
Cons - Maybe because it was 2nd week of SXSW - construction, street closures, traffic, know most street parking is unavailable for a variety of reasons. Be aware if you are a light sleeper: the alley faces a busy street (Cesar Chavez). As the weekend approached, it became busier & noisier with traffic, street people, & sirens. Yes, there were homeless sleeping in the grass & getting food handouts in the parking lot of the library where our windows faced, but for the most part, the street people did not bother us even when walking to our destinations. However, one man was particularly loud on Thursday night at 2 a.m. shouting (to no one) so loudly & quite frequently from the street corner for a half-hour, I'm surprised he did not rupture an aneurysm.
IMO - Low water pressure in shower & takes a while to heat up.
Overall - This is a very good rental. The pros outweighed the cons, & we had a good experience. It was convenient & we would likely stay again now that we figured out where everything is & how to get around to avoid traffic.
