Hello,
We are going to be in Austin from October 20th to 25th for a convention. We would like to rent a place so that we can all stay together. We are exploring two options for staying.
1) There is a house located on E Cesar Chavez and Comal St that approx a mile from downtown. If we got this house we wouldn't rent a car.
2) There is a house in Allandale but as it is about 5 miles away we would rent a car.
I know it is hard to say which is better, but any advise? None of us mind walking but is it unwise to hope for little to no rain for 5 days? Plus we do have infants and would be pushing strollers. Would it be more fun to stay closer to downtown? What are the two areas like?
I know lots of questions but none of us have ever been to Austin so we are flying blind.
