First off, the host is good and very responsive. Check in is smooth and well -communicated. They helped us get another room after we communicated the issues below. That said, I think it’s important for people to know what they’re booking as the description isn’t 100% spot-on and isn’t for everyone.
Starting off, the place is not a true 3br (there aren’t curtains, much less a door for the third “bedroom”, which consists of two suede lounge couches). The target audience for this place is more for reminiscing about your days at UT or a weekend rager on 6th St among friends, as the place feels more like a dorm/college apartment than a full-on Airbnb/hotel experience. I would not stay here for work (wifi spotty, 6th St. noise and it isn’t a business setting) or with small kids/clean freaks/people with allergies (steep stairs, poorly maintained fixtures overall, dust).
There is also a weird odor - mix of freshener, mildew and something else, and there are lots of dents, dings, splinters (couple of loose stair boards) and dust — it is beyond wear & tear. Towels and couches were fine but the bed was caving down and sagging. Fridge was not cold and snacks were meh.
The cost is also high given hotel options like Aloft, Sonesta, Elements etc are all within 2 mins. Again, not for me and others but YMMV.
