Great spot
Great location off South Lamar that allows you quick access to majority of the city. Near a lot of fun things, but very quiet and separate.

The property was spacious, clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and a very short drive to anywhere we wanted to go. Would book again. Lovely!
