The space
This is a sweet location in famous Hyde Park to start your Austin adventure! It's outside of downtown enough that you'll get good sleep, but still close to everything that's going on. There are many excellent bars and restaurants in this part of town including Hopdoddy, Uchiko, Taco Deli, Maudie's, Draught House, Antonelli's, Food Heads, Central Market (better than Whole Foods), and much more!
This studio apartment has an excellent central Austin location! It's down the street from the Triangle (bars/restaurant and residential development) and very close to downtown with great access to public transportation, which means you're super close to everything. This space has recently been renovated and has a modern design. You should have everything you need to make the most out of your time in Austin!
Work from home or keep the family entertained at home with high speed wifi and a smart TV. Stream your favorites on Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ and more!

Guest interaction
If you need recommendations, we'll be available to provide them otherwise you'll have complete privacy. We'll provide you with a door code before you arrive, so you'll have super quick and easy access to the house.
After booking you'll be provided a link where you can purchase upgrades to your booking such as early check-in and late check-out, additional cleanings, and more that will make your Austin experience even better!
We don't charge a security deposit! Where many hosts charge over $500, and where you as the guest risk them not returning your deposit – Austin Vacay remains guest-centric by charging a one-time, non-refundable fee (already included in your booking price) which provides up to $200 of coverage towards unintentional rental property damages (subject to plan terms and conditions). This means a lower cost to book, and because accidents happen, protection against costly charges. Plan terms and conditions provided by request after booking.
Austin Vacay is proud to be able to service Austinites and travelers during these uncertain times. We have taken extra precautions to care for our guests and employees by introducing zero contact entry, enhanced cleaning protocols, and strict covering requirements for employees. We encourage our guests to review Texas and Austin’s travel guidelines and restrictions before making a reservation. We must work together to ensure a safe environment for everyone that enters our properties.
The neighborhood
The Hyde Park neighborhood is a well-known residential and historic district in central Austin.
Getting around
Scooters (Lime & Bird) as well as Lyft and Uber are the best ways to get around Austin, especially this close to everything. However, there are also a lot of public transportation options in this area (see CapMetro's website).
