We loved staying here for a long weekend! The walk down to Barton springs was so easy and lovely. It was perfect for what we needed in town for the weekend. Felt safe and comfortable. Only thing I would suggest is a full length mirror!

This spot was great location if you want to be very close to barton springs. There was an issue with the bathroom and smell upon arriving and although it very much disrupted my stay and I left for the second night, Jon was very helpful and communicative and understanding through all of it.

Basically paying for the convenient location and parking. Maintenance was scheduled during our stay, which was a little inconvenient because we weren’t comfortable leaving our belongings unattended, but we also didn’t want to have to wait around for them to arrive. I also think the floors could have been cleaned more thoroughly between stays.
