Location and price are great, but expect very poor communication.
The stay is near whole foods/target/lot's of cool bars and restaurants on E 5th. Great spot for seeing Austin, TX. The apartment was a skeleton of what you need for your stay, but does the job. The low price was very nice and we were glad to see it.
On the flip side of the coin, the host was awful with communication. We reached out a week in advance to inquire about possible early check-in or bag drop-off, since we were in the area with luggage. A "yes" would have been great! But a "no" would have been fine as well - just a reply would have sufficed. We attempted to message on the app twice, and then called the host with the phone number provided on the app and left a voicemail, with absolutely no response up until the morning of the check-in, to which there was no direct reply to our previous questions!! They reached out to simply restate the check-in instructions already on the app listing.... This left us incredibly weary leading up to our arrival, as I'm sure it would anyone? To add a cherry on top, there were zero check-out instructions. So we were left a bit unguided as we left.
Overall, great stay for the price and location. But the host was not 10/10 on customer service and I think it's important future guests know this.
