The Hideaway is the perfect place to stay in Austin! My boyfriend and I and another couple stayed for 2 nights over NYE and only wish we could have stayed longer. Bill was the most gracious host and made us feel right at home. He was extremely accommodating throughout our stay and was available via phone and text with any questions that popped up. Bill also offered 2 Schwinn bikes (with helmets!) for us to rent at a reduced rate. The 2 bedroom apartment is spacious and beautifully decorated with chic Jonathan Adler furnishings and amazing artwork which gave the unit so much funk and character (everything was exactly as pictured). The beds were extremely comfortable, and with the blackout curtains we had no trouble getting plenty of sleep. Each room also comes with a large flatscreen TV (in addition to the one in the living room), a spacious walk-in closet, and 2 sets of plush robes. The bathroom is the perfect size (and plenty big enough) for sharing among the 2 bedrooms. The kitchenette had everything we needed (small fridge, microwave, espresso machine) as we preferred to check out the famous food scene in Austin. Due to the cold weather we weren't able to enjoy the pool, but it was nicely heated and the patio furniture is adorable and very comfortable. The location can't be beat - tucked away on a quiet street but still within a 5 min walk of all of the restaurants, shops, and bars on South Congress Ave. No more than a 5 minute drive from downtown, or a 20-30 min walk over the bridge. Overall, we had an amazing stay - would highly recommend to anyone visiting Austin. Would definitely stay here again!
