Overall, we had a positive experience staying at this Airbnb. Ames's was quick to respond to communications before and during our stay. The area felt safe, the space was very clean and well stocked, and there was ample parking. The Airbnb is part of an older apartment complex, so there are a couple areas for improvement. There are zero outlets in the bathrooms, which made getting ready challenging. The windows are old and let in a ton of street noise; bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. The king bed is rock hard, the queen is slightly softer, and the sofa bed is a typical sofa bed...not too comfy. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to explore North Loop. However, we did drive through and it does look like there are quite a few options. This Airbnb is about 15-20 minutes out from downtown Austin; catching a Lyft or Uber was super easy.
