Everything you need is within just a few short blocks! For dining choose from ASTI, Mother's Cafe, Hyde Park Bar and Grill, and Julio's. Go grocery shopping at the local and organic grocery store, Fresh Plus. Get on the bus on the next block over and head straight to downtown and back.

Perfect 7 day stay
Just my wife and I, for 2 of us it was big, well equipped, plentiful space. Heater and AC worked well (and we needed both on this trip). Neighborhood quiet, safe and convenient to downtown & the Capitol area. Would happily stay here again

Hyde Park Happy
The place was perfect! All the amenities that the Pete describes are there. Super comfortable house and the AC and heat are great. I came in Jan/Feb and it’s Texas so the AC and Heat both were needed. 70s one week, 40s the next and the house always felt amazing. I also had to work while I was there so the Google fiber that I hear about was awesome. We don’t have this in Boston so it’s one of the few times the internet was faster than my own home. Location! – I was looking to be in the city, but not IN the city. Hyde Park was perfect. I could either do a 5 minute Uber ride or just walk 20 mins directly south and I’d be right at UT and close to the middle of Austin. Made exploring the city so very easy. If I didn’t want to venture downtown, there were many bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk right around the house so it was perfect. Bartenders were very fun and very cool about telling you about Austin and other places to go. In fact, going to miss a few of them. One big thing for me, and this might night be as important to other renters, but this was my first time ever doing a VRBO. So I was always a bit nervous with the whole process. Pete made this SO easy for me and answered all questions I had and made the entire process not seem as scary as I thought it would be. If you’ve never done this before, he’s a great guy and will help you out. Overall, so very happy and would absolutely rent again, or at least, rent another one of his properties. Happy travels!

Hyde Park hideaway
This rental property is quite spacious, given that it has a separate office (or sitting room) in addition to the bedroom. It is located in a very convenient neighborhood, that is one of the few walkable neighborhoods in Austin. Clean, convenient, and an easy check-in—what more could you ask for?

Hyde park stay
We had a wonderful time during our stay. The location was very nice, in an interesting neighborhood for walking, and an easy walk to central market, a Starbucks, parks, and other sites. The apartment was very clean, in good condition, and comfortable. Pete answered any text message in just a few minutes. I would certainly stay here again. The only caution is that the claw foot tub is quite high, and a person who is shorter in stature or has balance issues might find it difficult to use.

Spartan rental
Location perfect for us. Daughter and family one block away. Good eateries nearby. HEB grocery only five min drive. Furnishings and supplies spartan. Felt like I was back in UsMC barracks. Layout of rental bizarre. Enter into living area, but go through master bedroom to kitchen and then to second bedroom and The only bathroom. Bathroom tiny. Shower awkward. If more than 2 people in rental, would be uncomfortable. Owners need to provide some coasters so drinks don’t ring tables. We did not cook/eat, but would have had to buy everything. All other rentals we have used provide good stock of basics. Laundry not in the house but in garage. It is very inconvenient. Except for location, would not consider renting this property again.

Great place and perfect location as central to everything. Neighborhood is quiet and interesting. Another light in the LR would be helpful and perhaps a night light in the bathroom. Would definitely recommend this place as a quiet retreat where you can relax and enjoy Austin and the surrounding countryside. 😊

Clean and comfortable
This is a clean, comfortable and functional property that is reasonably priced. It is conveniently located, 15 minutes from most of the places we wanted to visit. It is 1/3 of a house with it's own living room, bed room, kitchen/breakfast area, study (with a day bed) and a bathroom. Pete is a great host, quickly responding to all questions and few issues we countered during our stay. Bath room is bit small, especially for two people. Outside is not as well maintained as the inside but Pete told us it is his next "project".

Perfect location. Darling neighborhood
We had an outstanding 4 night stay. The property is on a wonderful, tree-lined street with great surroundings. The unit is spacious, historical and comfortable. We walked to the University of Texas for the football game and enjoyed seeing the houses along the way. Uber rides to downtown were quick and affordable, so I would highly recommend this location and this unit. Nothing but great things to say. Thank you Pete, you're a great host!

Spacious and quiet Austin bungalow in perfect location!
My husband and I came to Austin for the first time recently for a wedding. Knowing nothing about the city, we chose Hyde Park because we wanted something that was central to where the various wedding venues were and wanted something away from the noise of downtown. This bungalow was perfect! It's clean and uncluttered, which gives it a very spacious feel, but is also a welcoming and quiet place to relax after a long day of running around. There are also lots of parks and playgrounds within walking distance, making it very family-friendly. Easy walk to a few good cafes, restaurants, and grocery stores too. It was a quick and easy drive to downtown, East Austin, or wherever else we needed to go. The property manager (Pete) could not have been more responsive or accommodating through the whole process. Highly recommend this property!
