Pros:
1. This place was in a prime location right across the street from the Domain. We could not have asked for a better spot. You can literally park your car when you get there and not leave again because there is plenty to do. Although we didn't use the pool or the gym, they were available. My favorite part was the balcony that faced the courtyard. I would sit out there and drink hot tea. Even though the businesses were across the street from the complex, I was unable to hear any noise from it except for the occasional siren.
2. The apartment itself was AMAZING! It was spacious, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It had all the latest amenities, with a fancy coffee table that had a built in fridge. The owners stocked it to the nines with snacks, staple foods like bread and peanut butter, and even wine in the fridge. There were spare toothbrushes, extra towels and blankets, just about anything you could ask for.
3. Communication with the owners. Not only do the owners meet you at the location and give you a personal tour, they are super easy to communicate with. Their cleaning service did a subpar job, and not only were they apologetic, but they provided compensation as well, which was unnecessary, as things happen. They responded to questions in a timely manner and were great with follow up.
Cons: (These are all piddly, but good to know about)
1. You only get one key to the apartment and one fob to get into the gate. This is good to keep in mind as we had one member of our party who wanted to go back and take a nap but couldn't, because then we couldn't get in.
2. No tissues in the apartment, so you have to blow your nose with toilet paper or paper towels, so bring your own! The Texas pollen will sneak up on you.
3. The owners will meet you to retrieve the keys, but they may not be close. Be sure to call BEFORE you finish packing up. We only had to wait 20 minutes, which didn't bother me, but my husband hates waiting and got cranky. If your husband is the same, call ahead!
4. A little pricey. The weekend we stayed the rates were higher than usual, but we got more space, an amazing location, a balcony, a stocked pantry, gated parking and many other amenities we wouldn't have gotten at a hotel. It's hard to know that up front when you are booking though, so that's why I put it here.
Overall impression: Great location, Beautiful apartment, Friendly owners. Would definitely recommend!
