As I write this review from a dreary New York afternoon with a bone-chilling wind and unceasing rain, all I can think is, Winter is Coming—or at least a Nor-easter—and I wish I were back in the Hyde Park Casita. I spent four peaceful days relaxing in the light-filled, thoughtfully-designed, and well-stocked little house. Really appreciated the clean, modern aesthetic, the powerful wall unit, multiple entertainment options on the large-screen TV with Roku installed, and strong WiFi signal. Had a little trouble getting in at first due to unfamiliarity with the electronic locking system, but soon sorted it out with the help of the hosts, who were both really nice and responded quickly to calls and texts. I didn’t have a car but was able to walk to the grocery store and to the coffee shop (Flightpath) for delicious New Orleans iced coffee and Tacodeli breakfast tacos. Definitely stay here if you are in Austin and looking for a quiet, restful alternative to noisy and impersonal hotels.
