We go every year and rent this house in the San Antonio neighborhood just to the southwest of Centro. It’s 4 stories with a kitchen on the roof. The kitchen deck is awesome for having coffee and taking meetings and staring off into the city. For some reason I can’t find a link to the house, but it’s at 26 Alameda. We’ve stayed at the Belmond and Rosewood as well- very nice, but not as relaxing as getting your own place.

Lots of great restaurants and bars, etc within town, but there is a place called Mama Mi Campestre that is out in the country that is a great place to kill an afternoon. They have a buffet of Mexican and Italian dishes and it’s all outdoor. They have goats and all sorts of animals just hanging out. They have a brewery too so you can try all their beers.

Fabrica La Aurora is a cool place to kill and afternoon as well. We have several paintings here in Austin that we bought there at various galleries.

It’s such a peaceful town.

Might also hit up City Market. Grocery store that is as nice or nicer than anything we have here, but relatively inexpensive. I made dinner for 6 adults and a bunch of kids and went there to get steak, veggies, cheese, bread, wine etc. and I was out like $250 total. They had USDA prime steaks but I bought the Mexican version for less than half the price. Same cut, same marbling, everything. 

First time I went to SMA I was reluctant because I thought it would be a bunch of blue hair Americans. They exist, but vast majority are Mexicans and there is plenty of opportunity to party if you want to. 

Here are some pics of the house we rent. There is a dumb waiter that allows you to send dishes back and forth between the kitchens. Simple things like that entertain me.
