Felicity was a great host that was responsive and very accommodating (even let us store our luggage early as we explored nearby) but I can’t help but feel disappointed with the space.
My cons:
- The shower-head that was initially provided barely poured out above a trickle, but she quickly replaced it when we brought it to her attention. I couldn’t help but wonder why the good shower-head wasn’t installed in the first place.
- The room had an odd smell that emanates from the closet area/old installed heater. It was reminiscent of stale smoke and made it hard to breathe. She able to do something about it that it wasn’t noticeable when we returned (she handled this and the shower-head while we went out for lunch).
- Though we were able to drop off luggage early, we weren’t able to “check-in” until half hour our scheduled time because the cleaning staff was behind schedule.
- The place is advertised as entire apartment when it’s really just a room with a small private bath. It felt more like a hostel space than anything else.
I couldn’t but feel let down as the previous bnb in Austin I stayed in days prior (in the same price range) offered a much larger space, a full kitchen, and no need to bother with quick fixes to problems that shouldn’t have been problems.
