Hyde Park Retreat is truly lovely. The neighborhood is fantastic - combination of beautiful houses, interesting stores and restaurants nearby, a moon tower, and even a few goats and chickens. The neighborhood is quiet with birds singing. We took many, many walks around the neighborhood just so we could take in all the cute houses. The house itself was wonderful - clean with many thoughtful amenities. We didn't have to rush out to the store for things we would need right away; the supplies were already there. It was well-stocked. It really is as cute as it looks in the pictures. I can't say enough about how restful it was. The parking was easy.
The house is also nicely located in Austin. It's easy to get-laces - easy access to the highways but also to other places you might want to visit. A wonderful gem.
