This is a great location in famous Hyde Park to start your Austin adventure! It's outside of downtown enough that you'll get good sleep, but still close to everything that's going on. There are many excellent bars and restaurants in this part of town including Hopdoddy, Uchiko, Taco Deli, Maudie's, Draught House, Antonelli's, Food Heads, Central Market (better than Whole Foods), and much more!
This two bedroom apartment has an excellent central Austin location! It's down the street from Central Market and the Triangle (bars/restaurant and residential development) and also very close to downtown with great access to public transportation, which means you're super close to everything. It's recently been redecorated. The apartment fits 6 people comfortably with 2 in the king bed in the first bedroom, 2 in the king bed in the second bedroom, and 2 on the comfy sleeper sofa.
Please note that this apartment is on a boiler system, which means that central heating/cooling system is very reliable, but that the thermostat doesn't give you complete control of the temperature in the space. If the system is on heat, it can't be changed to cool and vice versa.

We don't charge a security deposit! Where many hosts charge over $500, and where you as the guest risk them not returning your deposit – Austin Vacay remains guest-centric by charging a one-time, non-refundable fee (already included in your booking price) which provides up to $400 of coverage towards unintentional rental property damages (subject to plan terms and conditions). This means a lower cost to book, and because accidents happen, protection against costly charges. Plan terms and conditions provided by request after booking.
