Here's what people have to say about our charming Hancock neighborhood, "Located just north of Downtown, Hancock is home to ambitious professionals, laid-back creative types, and University of Texas students. Getting around this residential neighborhood often involves walking, jogging, or biking to its local bars, cafes, and eateries renowned for their outdoor patios and intimate vibes. Hancock’s soothing atmosphere makes it seem far away from 6th Street’s noise, but jump on the interstate bordering this neighborhood and you’ll be Downtown before the band goes on break.

Upon booking you'll receive a digital house manual with a Google guide to some great local restaurants in the neighborhood.

Perfect location!

Within walking distance of restaurants, coffee shops and thrift stores but, also, a quiet location. Loved the modern updates mixed with preserving some of the original touches. Bonuses were the large kitchen, fenced yard and how close we were to everything! (Literally listened to the Texas game from the backyard) One of the best equipped places we’ve ever stayed…Would definitely stay here again.

Great stay for a short trip!

My family and I recently stayed at this location. It is in a great area and within 15 min of groceries and must see hot spots. We also really enjoyed sitting on the patio for morning coffee. Our host was quick to respond to any questions we had. Unit B is clean and well stocked with anything you may need. We would definitely stay here again!

Great place and great location

Fantastic location and extremely pet friendly

These accommodations were perfect for our long weekend. The neighborhood is walkable with great restaurants, and right across the street from green space for walking dogs. From the canister of dog cookies to the container full of dog toys and the fenced yard, this was a great spot to bring our furry friends with us.

Nice property near UT

Love this property. Clean and well stocked. Great location. Nice fenced in yard. We would love to stay again. The only reason I didn’t give it four stars was that the property sleeps six, (Including air mattress). We had four people in our family, but we were charged for an extra person. The price is for three guests. Darlene did let us know this prior, but it was not listed anywhere on the vrbo page.

Mid century in the city

Cute, comfortable, nicely updated mid century modern duplex close to UT, Hancock Golf Course, North Loop, and downtown Austin. Wonderful in every way- except for Some noise from traffic on 38th Street. On the other hand, 38th is the street to take to get anywhere in Old Austin quickly and easily. Location, location, location, as the old saying goes.

Quaint little home

The house is older with some updates but very clean and it had just about everything you would need for a stay. Bre was very helpful and messaged during our stay to make sure everything was good. The only kink is the location for uber deliveries since they try to deliver to the front of the duplex, which is rented by someone else. I moved the pin to the beginning of the driveway that leads to this unit but the driver still came to the front. I walked up front to meet him. Still a great place located in a quiet neighborhood and would gladly go back.

It was ok

Property was listed with a hot tub but there was not one on site. When I asked the host, they asked for proof from the listing after making changes to the listing. I had a screenshot and sent them the picture but instead of being offered compensation for the incorrect listing, I was simply given excuses and empty promises about fixing the issue with VRBO. I am still waiting for my case to handled through VRBO. Other than that, the property is ok. A little outdated and not super clean but not bad for a place to stay for a few nights.
