Place is very central to town and lots of things accessible such as restaurants and grocery shopping. The expo center and zoo are less than 10 minutes away. Really a great place when you need to be on a trip and still function as a home.

I really enjoyed my stay, including that there is a separate office area I didn't expect. I was able to work without disturbing anyone, for which I was very thankful. The parking was great, and the apartment is fabulous. All the refrigerated bottled water was a lovely added bonus, along with coolers and ice packs available for use. The price was very reasonable and I was downright thrilled with the accommodations!

The Back Porch was a great experience! The place was very clean, everything worked well. It was chilly outside but the heaters made the inside super cozy in no time at all! I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a comfortable place to stay in Abilene for a great price! I will probably use this property for all my stays every time I visit Abilene moving forward, I enjoyed it that much!
