The Hideaway is absolutely wonderful ... secret entrances and stepped passageways, beautiful landscaped gardens and fabulous grotto-like swimming pool. A 2-story, two bedroom apartment, artistically decorated with eclectic decor, and a bathroom with plenty of storage space for your dopp kit and emollients! The owner, Bill, was responsive when we had questions.

I booked for 5 nights/6 days, and loved it. The only drawback is: there is no way to cook food (how did I miss that in the description?), although there is a kitchen area with a small refrigerator and ample granite counter areas for food prep; just no stove. There was a Nespresso w/supplies, and drip-coffee maker, and a microwave, but it was a let-down to realize I couldn't cook eggs for breakfast. *sigh* Also, the DVD player in the living room wasn't hooked-up right, though the DVD player in the big black bedroom worked fine for binge-watching "Game of Thrones" S5!

The location is ideal, too, just walking distance from the best South Congress street has to offer in terms of hip shops and cool restaurants, and Austin is a foodie paradise! The neighborhood is verdant, quite, residential ... and owners are building unique homes right next to classic bungalows. There is a creek-side park only two blocks away.

Yup. Love this place!
