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.

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.

Very clean. Limited supplies as far as dishes and things needed for daily living
We were in Austin for our daughters wedding. We had a 5 week stay. The house was not a comfortable house to lounge in the evening. It had bare essentials and the tub was difficult for us older folks to get in and out of. Younger people may have a better time there. I would not go back

Great location, clean, neat and comfortable. Really close to UT. We had a great stay!
This place is great- we decided to go with VRBO instead of hotel for a swim meet at the university pool. It was such a great location. Restaurants, grocery, really cool sculpture museum all within walking distance. The neighborhood is so neat- we loved walking around and checking out all the cool homes. Easy to get anywhere in Austin from this place. We were super comfortable, kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. House is neat and clean. Enjoyed our stay. Love Austin!!!!

Nice clean and terrific location
My husband and I stayed here wile visiting my daughter who is a student at UT. It was a wonderful, clean and spacious apartment. The instructions for arrival and departure were very simple. The location is in an adorable neighborhood just north of campus. While we did not use the "second bedroom", I was surprised to see it doubled as a dining room. The master bedroom is on the second level and the staircase is low and steep so be aware. It was fine for us. The living room and kitchen are huge, just wish there was a toaster oven. All in all it was a wonderful experience, and I recommend it.

Refurbished Victorian-style home in residential Hyde Park
This lovely Victorian-style home is appointed with modern Swedish furnishings throughout. It is well-located in Hyde Park - close to small shops and with easy access to major roads - immaculately clean with all tile and wood flooring throughout, and very quiet (there are few sidewalks in the neighborhood). It was very comfortable for a family of essentially 4 adults, with a few points, below, to take note of for any future guests. Being a refurbished-Victorian, it is light on electrical outlets throughout, so bring a power strip if you don't ditch the computers/cell-phones. The cooling system was barely able to keep up with the Texas summer heat. The owner prefers a no-shoes policy, which can be a little difficult on the slick floors, as one of us learned the hard way. Also, the tub is a step-up claw foot arrangement for showering, and the stairs to the large bedroom are steep. There are additionally several small steps in various locations in the home. People with mobility issues should rethink this location. Street parking is a breeze. The trees in the area are lovely and the neighbors are all friendly. The kitchen is a little light on dishes -- you basically have to wash after every meal or snack for four people. Overall we had a very nice stay and would be happy to do it again, but might plan our luggage a little differently and try to eat out more.
