My wife and I are thinking about taking a vacation down to Austin and I was just curious where those who might be familiar with the area would recommend staying? Either a general area or specific streets/blocks. I have a fair amount of Hilton points so we'd likely be staying in one of their hotels.
We'd be looking to be in an area where we might be able to walk to a lot of things but we'd also have a rental car and could drive. But some parks or places to bike or do something active nearby would be good. We'd be interested in an area where there were plenty of restaurant choices as well. And maybe a decent night life scene too. Not that we're crazy party'ers but we like options, good drink choices and music.
And then if you just have recommendations of things to see/do (or maybe not see/do) while we're down there I'd be happy to hear about those as well.
Thanks in advance.
