We stayed at Deirdre's house for the month of July '21. We recently moved back to Austin and needed a place to stay while looking for long term housing. It's a cute bungalow in one of the best neighborhoods in the city. People in Hyde Park are really friendly.
Pros:
Great location. The house is a few blocks from Shipe park/pool and about a 10-15 min walk to restaurants and a big HEB (grocery store). Neighborhood was awesome for walking/jogging, with lots of trees for shade, and it seemed like there were always people walking their dogs or just out and about.
House was clean.
AC was COLD. We set it at 75 the whole time and the house felt really comfortable even when it was 90+ outdoors.
Host was very responsive and polite.
Kitchen was well stocked (utensils, cookware, etc.)
Plenty of street parking. Driveway is long enough to tandem 2 cars as well.
Cons:
(Both) beds were uncomfortable.
There is a house being built directly across the street so some mornings there will be loud construction noise to wake you up promptly at 0700. If you start work late or just want to sleep in, probably best to stay in the back bedroom since it was quieter back there.
Also just a note, the backyard is not fenced all the way around, so depending on your pup, might not be suitable to leave them outdoors unsupervised.
