Today is my last full day in the Hyde Park studio and I'm genuinely bummed to be leaving it. Sara thought of absolutely everything with this cute little studio. I had so many moments where I thought to myself, "Man, I could really use [blank] right now" and suddenly remembered that I had seen exactly that thing in one of the cupboards. It's almost spooky how well-equipped this place is. You have everything you need for a long- or short-term stay right at your fingertips, and Sara is super responsive and nice if you do end up needing something else. The WiFi here is strong and consistent, which is of the utmost importance to me as I work full-time remote. The studio is incredibly tastefully decorated and adorable. If you end up renting a car, there's always a space for you in the lot no matter what time you come home.

The location of the studio is absolutely perfect - very central and close to all desirable bars and restaurants. I don't think I had to drive for more than 20 minutes for anything at all (except to get out to Dripping Springs for Hamilton Pool, which I highly recommend). I never heard a peep out of the neighbors the entire three-ish weeks I've been here, and the whole street is residential and peaceful. Hyde Park is a beautiful and safe area, so if you're traveling alone you'll have no trouble at all.

Only thing to note: It's a bit dark in the studio the majority of the time because of the building's orientation, which I didn't care about because I was hardly inside during my trip but might bother some people. (It's also great for sleeping in!)

I'm going to be returning to Austin often and I plan to stay here at Sara's place every time if it's available. Highly recommend in every way!
