Cozy Efficiency

Well equipped studio unit with comfortable bed and seating. Great open closet in bathroom area (addition of luggage rack or bench would be helpful).I found the almost constant noise from the dehumidifier and HVAC unit annoying.The step up to toilet mentioned in description was more like a step and a half (13-14”) and there was no safety grab bar present although there was a small step stool available in the kitchenette to assist with ascending to and descending from the toilet. With the toilet “step” and additional regular steps into bathroom and up to shower this place is not suited to individuals with certain mobility or reduced vision issues.

We liked the location Great walking neighborhood. The unit was clean and bed comfortable. The only drawback was the bathroom. An handlebar at toilet and shower would be a safety feature that many would use.

Parking is somewhat tight and the alley to enter the property is narrow, with garbage cans along the side. However, the location is prime. The inside is very neat and tidy, just be sure to bring your own shampoo/soap, etc. Also needs a better shower head. But, overall good quality with an attentive host!

Clean, Neat, Awesome Location

The unit was clean, neat and conveniently located. The location is awesome for central Austin but close to the 1 or the 35, so going south or north is no problem. When there is no traffic, you can be at almost every significant place from south to north in under 20 minutes. When there is traffic, you can get downtown or the university in 15 to 20 minutes. I don't suggest traveling either north or south during rush hour, a 15 minute trip could take an hour. Another nice feature are all the tree lined streets around the unit. Taking a walk in the neighborhood is wonderful. Truly an urban forest.

Hyde Park - Wonderful location

Exactly as described, the room was very clean and equipped with everything you would need. Very close to a great array of cafes, bars, shops and even a brilliant Italian restaurant. Pete was easy to contact and easy and polite to deal with. Would recommend to anyone wanting to stay a while in Austin.

Very clean and fresh

Pros: no shoes allowed in apartment so rug was very clean; no fragrances or chemical smells so room was very fresh; bed was comfortable; mini fridge was cold; shower stall and curtain were squeaky clean; parking space is located right outside door; and owner was quick to reply. Cons: VRBO ad is misleading. The ad shows picture of upstairs unit with deck but the rental unit is really downstairs and around the back, on the alley with no deck and no porch; no washer/dryer in room; small freezer in mini fridge was iced over and in need of defrosting so it was unusable. This ad is deceptive; I was expecting the upstairs apartment with deck as pictured in the ad so I was very disappointed that my room was a different room located on the back side of the building and opening on the alley. There was no deck and no washer/dryer in the room. Owner gave me the option to move upstairs to the apartment pictured in the ad-- BUT I would have had to pay additional cost of about $40 plus tax PER DAY plus VBRO fee. I would recommend this property with the warning that it is not the upstairs apartment with a deck shown in the ad.

Comfortable, great location

Comfortable, clean, quiet and in a great location. The shower and commode are elevated (a good step up), so not great if you have mobility limitations. Bring your own pillow and soap. Grocery, coffee shop, bakery, and dining all just a couple blocks away, easy walk. We enjoyed our visit very much and would stay here again.

My wife and I live in Austin in Hyde Park and love the area. If you have any questions about things to do here or restaurants to eat at, we'd love to help!

Why they chose this property

Hyde Park is a quiet neighborhood near downtown Austin. It's great having access to everything downtown and central Austin has to offer and then come home to a quiet neighborhood.
