About this property

Historic Home in Central Austin by UT and Downtown, Walk to Restaurants

Upon check-in you'll receive your own keyless security code to let you into your new home away from home. The main bedroom is furnished with a queen bed. The second bedroom has a twin daybed and a second twin bed. That same space is shared with the dinning table and chairs. There's a full size kitchen, a large living room, and laundry. The 10 foot ceilings and large windows make the home feel even larger than it is. This historic home was completely remodeled in 2010, includes three completely separate residences, and still has its old character and charm from 1915. There's a large fully fenced back yard with a patio set perfect for a relaxing afternoon.

The high speed internet (1 Gbps down and 1 Gbps up) connection and wifi are provided by Google Fiber, which is one of the best, fastest, and most stable internet providers in Austin. Google TV / Youtube TV provides one of the most up to date technologies for the best digital TV available.

Location is everything. Stay in one of the most trendy and historic neighborhoods in Austin. The location is ideal for families or anyone that would like to be close to all of the attractions that Austin has to offer, but also a quiet, relaxing, and safe neighborhood and home to come back to after exploring.

Walk a few blocks and you can have breakfast or coffee at one of the best bakeries in Austin, shop at a local grocery store, have lunch at several restaurants, view the many early 1900 Victorian homes, or an afternoon snack at a local sandwich shop that's been open since 1909. If you want to travel somewhere farther away in Austin, the bus route is on the next street. Hop right onto the bus and go anywhere for $1. If you need any recommendations on places to eat or see in Austin, we are more than happy to help any time.

We are family friendly and can accommodate children 5 years old or older. Total of 4 people includes any children.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
This was a great property in the north of Austin, but very close to downtown. There were restaurants close and it was easy to get further away. The most surprising thing was how quiet it was. The neighborhood was so quiet it was hard to believe I was in a city. The house was clean and nice with everything I needed for a pleasant stay.

Perfect base for exploring Austin
This house was ideal for our family of four during our five-day stay in Austin. We loved the quiet, residential neighborhood and the proximity to excellent restaurants and cafes. It was easy to get to the University and downtown. Pete was helpful and very responsive to our questions. We would definitely stay there 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.
