Our family of five could not have been more pleased with our stay at Dallas' very comfortable Hyde Park home. The house is just as shown in the photos. What you don't see is the very lovely neighborhood in which it's located ... a great place to walk and fantasize about owning one of the well-maintained bungalows or Victorian homes down the block (or Dallas' house, if he was so inclined). The house was very clean, and stocked with everything we needed and more. (Dallas went "above and beyond" by leaving coffee and snacks.) We could have cooked meals in the well-equipped kitchen, but were seduced by Austin's many terrific restaurants, including a couple nearby (highly recommend Vino Vino's happy hour and reverse happy hour, and Snow Beach's shaved ices). The beds were very comfortable, and I was glad to use the good reading lights, which are often overlooked in rentals and hotels. We appreciated having access to laundry facilities, especially as we packed light. And we loved the at home library ... really enjoyed sitting on the porch with the house's terrific collection of books and magazines. Dallas checked in with a quick text message every couple of days, just to confirm we had everything we needed, and offered good "go to" suggestions, including a thumbs up for Barton Springs, which we enjoyed thoroughly on a couple of Austin's hot summer afternoons. We'd be very pleased for this to be our home away from home when we visit Austin again, and consider Dallas the perfect host: available and considerate, but not obtrusive. This was our introduction to using AirBnB, and hope to be as fortunate in our next trip to another location.
