Very nice place, spacious feeling for its size, due to the high ceiling. Treehouse loft vibes! Nice tub as well. 2 blocks from Magnolia cafe and other S. Austin staples!

Really lovely spot, close enough to everything but also quiet and peaceful. The apartment really has everything you could ever need - kitchen was really convenient. The balcony was lovely for my morning can of Monster. The washing machine and dryer are excellent and super convenient. Would stay here again and recommend it to anyone!
