Clean and well-stocked, recently-flipped house with a handful of irritating but manageable design flaws and one serious concern. Serious first: the standalone tub/shower design and curtain placement practically guarantees splashing water all over the bathroom floor and far wall. If you are reading this more than four (4) months after February 2022, and still see a picture of a standalone tub, I recommend avoiding this place unless you really adore mold. Minor flaws: front door keypad was nonfunctional when we arrived. The hosts responded to our message near-instantly and we were able to get back door keys from a lockbox in the rear. It was 40 degrees outside and raining when we arrived, and the three wall-mounted AC/heater units were noisy and took a few hours to warm the place up, but they did the job and the bedsheets kept us warm and cozy in the meantime. Old house design means the bathroom door opens onto a light switch, and the toilet is within forehead-smacking distance of the bathroom sink, so prepare to poop sideways. Kitchen includes dishes and cutlery, a good refrigerator and microwave, but no dishwasher or drying rack. And on a lighter note, the general vibe: Bedroom decoration consisted of an Ikea painting of evergreen trees in blue, and a stick from the backyard draped in cheesecloth. Kitchen cabinets were the trendy doorless open-air shelves that look great and utterly fail to keep dust off your plate-stacks. If you are the sort of hip world traveler who prefers books with pretty covers, Victrola record players, and vegan cruelty-free hand soap over a working front door, then this is the place for you. If not, then why are you staying at an Airbnb in Austin? Get a hotel, chump. The desktop copy of "No Baggage: A Minimalist Tale of Love and Wandering" is clearly not for you.
In short, quintessentially Austin. Final Rating: Meh. It'll do.
