I had the pleasure of staying at Chris's AirBnB for 10 whole nights! The apartment was exactly as pictured and everything was perfectly clean and hospitable! Everything was provided for me from paper products to cookware to extra pillows and a great working TV that you can stream to!
This AirBnB is completely "Hands Off" from the Host which gave it that "personal" feel like it was my own place to go and stay as I pleased! The property is easy to find (albeit the apartment was a little tricky at first since the number scheme for the apartments is a bit strange) and very well lit! As a single traveling female with a female friend who came to stay later, I felt completely safe the entire time I was staying here! We had a problem with the garbage disposal and Chris immediately contacted maintenance to come fix it, and the following afternoon they did!
This apartment is fairly small but that's to be expected as it IS an efficiency, that means NO bedroom door. I already knew this going into this particular AirBnB and I have also lived in an efficiency apartment before, so I knew how they were laid out.
My friend cooked for us a couple nights on the stove and used the oven. I utilized the microwave a TON during our stay. Once I figured out how the A/C unit worked (no central air), we stayed cool and comfortable in the unforgivable Austin in July, heat!
The walls are pretty thin however, just something to keep in mind. 2 mornings we were woken up by maintenance working on the apartment next to us with loud banging and tool noises. And one night, we could hear ppl talking outside in the parking lot, casually. This is no fault of the host, just an FYI blurb about the thinner walls.
Everything was phenomenal! This AirBnB is in SUCH a great location for Austin if you've never been. I lived in Austin for 8 years so I grabbed this as soon as I saw it was available! I had no vehicle during my stay so I had to Uber probably ~10 times all week and it was never more than $12 to get anywhere I needed/wanted to go! Also, we used food delivery services a few times and they always found the apartment without any added help at all!
If it's just 1 or 2 of you, this place is amazing! It's small but comfortable. You are left to your own devices without any interference from anyone! It truly feels like a place you can kind of make "your own" while you stay there. 10/10 would recommend! Hell, I might come back to Austin next summer and will look for this specific place again as it was perfect for me!
