The property is as advertised as far photos & location. The photos are compy accurate. Communication was good & responses from the owner were very prompt.
However, this place is not for light sleepers. The garbage trucks & deliveries to businesses directly behind start running VERY early (around 4:30 a.m.). We also seriously thought that there was construction going on in the unit above one night because it was so loud. Plus, if there are people staying upstairs, you hear every step they take & every noise they make (even phone calls). Neither of us slept through the night the entire time. This is also an older property & you get what goes with that (i.e. things like very little water pressure in the shower). The outdoor patio area is nice but we couldn't figure out how to turn any of the outdoor lights on. We did get one flood light to turn on but the bulb for the other one seemed to be out. We couldn't turn on the string lights but those may have just been decorative. There were also beer cans left out there (not ours).
The location is good depending on what you're in Austin to do. For example, Congress & SoCo are a hike & Rainey was not an easily walkable distance in our opinion but there are several other things nearby. If you're wanting to walk everywhere & take as few Lyfts/Ubers as possible like we did, this might not work well for you. Also, as of 09/2018, the closest coffee shop you see on the map is closed for remodeling.
