Overall, we really enjoyed our time in Austin! The space was clean and comfy, along with being centrally-located. I would not describe this as a walkable location, but we had our vehicle with us so it was not an issue. Definitely check out the coffee shop down the street, Barrett's, for some delicious cold brew and treats! If you are traveling with dogs, be sure to get clarification on the pet policy prior to booking. The owner indicated that they have previously received complaints of allergy issues due to residual pet dander and that a deposit/cleaning fee would be required to protect other guests from this. I would certainly recommend that anyone with that severe of an allergy not book a stay at a pet-friendly location to avoid this issue. To me, this seems like a failure on the part of the person booking rather than of the host. Cons: The air conditioning was out for the first night and the washer/dryer were inoperable for our entire visit. The host was responsive but it was still disappointing to go without these features when we planned on having access.
Thank you Michael for trying your best to accommodate our stay, even in the face of unexpected issues!
