This is the first time that I've arrived at a VRBO and found the property actually bigger than it looked in the photos! This is a spacious 4-bedroom property, and it was right in the middle of everything we like to do in Austin. There is a fantastic run from the front door, past Barton Springs to the Barton Creek/Town Lake running trail (almost exactly 4 miles from the house to the far side of the Lamar pedestrian bridge, out and back). Thoroughbread is a great little bakery just around the block with great sourdough and blueberry scones. Terry Black's barbecue, Matt's El Rancho, the original Chuy's, the Green Mesquite, Loro fusion, Amy's ice cream,and Sandy's Burgers (an oldie but goodie), "the back entrance" to Barton Springs pool, and even the Broken Spoke were all within 5 minutes by car, and wouldn't have been a hard walk for a reasonably fit person, though probably a pretty sweaty walk. For our family, this area of the city is Austin's beating heart! The next ring outwards (10-12 mins by Waymo/Uber) includes the classic shopping/food of SoCo , Whit Hank antiques, Waterloo Records, the iconic Congress Ave "bat bridge", and the evening "Blues on the Green" free concerts at Zilker Park.In short, this location is *perfect*, the accommodation was very comfortable, with balconies or connected outdoor spaces for every bedroom. The neighborhood was quiet, the pool was small but surprisingly big enough for our crew, and very refreshing after a long hot day out. Five Stars!
