The location is killer and can't be beat! Even though it says bare bones, I found I had pretty much everything I needed and didn't miss anything. Great place to crash while you explore and hang out in Austin! Comfy bed and clean room. Drawbacks to note: I could not get hot water in the shower no matter how long I waited and messed with it, and communication about other occupants could have improved.
I rented the middle room and the host told me a few days in advance that he or other Airbnbers would "probably" be staying too, but never confirmed for sure. When I arrived the house was dark and no cars were around, so I figured I was by myself at least for the moment. I messaged to say I'd checked in just fine, but didn't get a response. No big deal. When I came back from dinner, it was clear someone had been there, but I appeared to be alone again. No problem, but when I awoke at 4:30 am to the main door opening and closing and someone moving around, you can imagine it was a little unsettling. Over the next day or so, the same thing happened - signs of someone there at the exact times I was out, but always seemingly alone when I was there and someone coming in late at night, this time around midnight. I never saw anyone. Traveling solo as a young female, it was just a little unnerving to feel like I was alone but then never really be sure, especially like showering and stuff like that. I felt like I was tiptoeing around because I didn't know if I should try to be quiet for someone else or what the situation was. I definitely wouldn't expect exact communication about when someone would be in and out, but confirmation of who would be there in general would have been nice. If it was the host, a note to say he'd be arriving late would be helpful, or if it was other guests, a simple description ("hey, there's a couple staying in the next room," that kind of thing.).
