thanks for a wonderful stay- this house is super cute and a great location, I was able to walk to
so many fun places, and bike to barton springs and all the neat places on barton springs ave,
the juice bar and the best coffeehouse in town (one of em) and Thom's market had everything I needed in a grocery store. Great clubs nearby, Saxon Pub was amazing and new One to One bar
had a nice feel and a very cool band. Look forward to coming back!

Owner's Response: The Zilker Neighborhood is quite charming with many cafes, pubs, music and quaint shops of all kinds within a 1 mile radius. Most you can walk to. Glad you found the Saxon and One to One Bar. There is also the Black Sheep Lodge and a Pizza place moments away. The infamous country-western dance place, The Broken Spoke is just down SoLa, or South Lamar. The Sola area is booming with so many shops, cafes and interesting clothes. And over at Restaurant Row on Barton Springs Blvd. is an entire array of great restaurants including Chuy's, the mexican food place everyone must try when they are in Austin. The Saxon Pub always has great music, and there are quite a few coffee shops close by. Around the corner is a wonderful wine and desert place, across the street amazing Italian food, and down the street Kerby Lane Cafe which is open 24 hours and is amazing! Staying at the Sola Lodge gives you close access to many wonderful places while staying in a very nice, upscale neighborhood close to Barton Springs Pool, where you can find the Zilker Train. This is where the Austin City Limits Fest is held. I think its most people's favorite neighborhood in Austin!
