Check in and check out were very easy. Owner was very responsive and helpful. ##### Laura Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vince Mar 5, 2024 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. ##### Vince Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colleen K.

Lots of street parking. ##### Robert H. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard S. Oct 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The property is in a quiet neighbourhood close to the northern end of the UT campus, ideal for visiting parents. The staircase to the main bedroom is narrow and a little steep, so not too suitable for very young or old, but otherwise fine. Definitely would recommend visiting Quack's bakery a short walk away. Parking outside the property is fine. As visitors from outside the US we had lots of problems with parking apps in Austin not working with our non-US phones (both android and apple). But the property is close enough for taxis/ubers/weymos to be affordable. ##### Richard S. Stayed 14 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ram D.

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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Dottie P., Bettendorf, Iowa Mar 29, 2019 #### Great Location Great Location!

Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeanne W., Clifton Park, NY Mar 15, 2019 #### 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 ##### Jeanne W. Stayed 38 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Molly F. Dec 25, 2018 #### 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!!!! ##### Molly F. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Aliza D. Dec 4, 2018 #### 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. ##### Aliza D. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven B. Oct 16, 2018 #### Great location. Very nice neighborhood. Clean unit. My wife and I and a friend stayed here in this 2 bedroom unit for 2 nights. It was great overall. It was a very clean place with nice sized rooms, living, and kitchen. ##### Steven B.

Sans s’etre croisĂ©, Pete s’est montrĂ© trĂšs disponible et rĂ©actif Ă  nos demandes. Nous n’avons rencontrĂ© aucun problĂšme. Quelques points d’amĂ©liorations nĂ©anmoins : la salle de bain qui mĂ©riterait un petit coup de jeune et la table pour prendre les repas qui se trouve dans la mĂȘme piĂšce que la seconde chambre. Le salon, la chambre principale, et la cuisine sont trĂšs biens quand Ă  eux. Merci Pete! ##### Joffrey D. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle E. Jun 18, 2018 #### 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. ##### Michelle E. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca B. Jun 8, 2018 #### Wonderful place & great location I stayed for a week in this apartment and it was great. The location is perfect--nice neighborhood and coffee shops and restaurants nearby. Very close to UT campus. The apartment had everything that I needed and was clean and cute. Also, Pete is wonderful. Stayed in touch, answered questions promptly, and helped looked for an item that I thought that I had lost! Terrific place! ##### Rebecca B. Stayed 6 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol L., Newark DE Jun 3, 2018 #### Cute house in eclectic neighborhood We had a very comfortable stay. Loved the neighborhood! ##### Carol L. Stayed 5 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terri S. May 13, 2018 #### Nice Very nice neighborhood location. Quiet. Walking distance to a park and restaurants, close to the university. Convenient street parking. The place itself was clean, nicely furnished, the upstairs bedroom was quite nice and comfy, nice big kitchen with the essentials. My only complaint was that it didn't feel cozy. Also the bathroom was small and the deep tub could be difficult for some to step in and out of. ##### Terri S. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate B. May 9, 2018 #### Charming neighborhood, great place to stay We loved this neighborhood and the house we clean, comfortable, and well kept. It was a very nice stay. I would recommend it to anyone. It was just a short $10ish Lift ride to almost anywhere in the city. We walked to a sweet bakery about 4 blocks away for great lattes and yummy pastries. ##### Kate B. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marty L., Portland, Michigan May 4, 2018 #### Very Nice! This is our second stay in this unit and we were just as pleased this time as the last. The unit is very clean and equipped with everything you need for a short or long stay. The location is great and in a very nice neighborhood which is great for walking. The laundry is shared in a garage out back. Pete, the owner, is very prompt with replies to my questions and very helpful. We will stay again on our next visit to Austin. ##### Marty L. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven L. Mar 26, 2018 #### Very Nice & Comfortable Very nice comfortable house with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Beautiful, secluded suburban neighborhood but only a short drive from U TX and downtown area. Served as a perfect base for our visit to Austin ##### Steven L. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Mar 19, 2018 #### Love the neighborhood! We loved the Hyde Park neighborhood. It is full of charming homes (all with front porches!) and sidewalks for easy walks. It's convenient to the University of Texas, parks and the downtown area. What I don't think is clear in the description is that the one bathroom is on the main floor and very small (clawfoot tub is original and it's a major step over the sides into it). The spacious queen bedroom is upstairs. To get from one to the other is a narrow steep staircase (If you're tall...duck!). The other area for sleeping is shared with the dining table off the kitchen. The outdoor area in the backyard was not appealing. Although the shade tree is nice, the yard is mainly dirt, and looks out on the alley with the garbage and recycling receptacles. There are 3 air-conditioning units that I think would be noisy in the summer if they were all running. As others have stated, Pete its the best host! He was responsive to all our requests and questions. The unit is spacious and well priced. Restaurants, grocery stores and coffee shops close by were great! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 30 nights in Jan 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Samantha L., Austin Feb 13, 2018 #### Great location, great price and cute! Overall, my experience with this stay was very good. The house is in a great location with a really good price for the quality. The house is comfortably furnished and cute. My daughter and I enjoyed our stay. A few constructive criticism comments: - the placement of two singles in the dining room is a bit strange. Understand maximizing the space for more people but it sort of took away from it feeling like home. - A full length mirror somewhere would have been nice. - The wine opener was broken. - Understand keeping the price down and not provided toiletries but I do think having coffee would have made a nice touch. - The stove is a bit outdated and made a lot of noise when you walked through the kitchen. - Bathtub was cute but trying to use as a shower was cumbersome and it being the only bathroom, left us with not a lot of choice. - I hit my head on the stairs coming down many times. I dont know if it makes sense for someone really tall to try to stay/live there. - Some light in the closet area of the master would be good. We appreciated the owners thoughtfulness. I would recommend this house for others. ##### Samantha L. Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie K. Aug 6, 2017 #### Convenient and modern clean place We had a great stay during a hot weekend in July. The owner was super responsive before and during our stay. We had a hiccup with the AC and he was over late on a Saturday which was so appreciated. We would definitely stay again. Thanks for a great accommodation in one of our favorite cities! ##### Stephanie K.
