The area is in downtown Austin, it’s a quiet neighborhood overall with plenty of street parking. Outside the neighborhood it’s a bit rundown but you’re minutes away from the main hot spots. It can get quite noisy as the backyard is about 30-50 feet from the highway and main roads. Honestly it didn’t bother me as I like white noise, may not be good for someone who is a light sleeper or can’t stand the noise. There’s also a nice ceiling fan in the bedroom.
Place is definitely smaller than it seems than in pictures but really functional and super cute, kind of like a ADU in the back. For how close you are, the space would not really matter as you’d be out most of the time!! Checking in was super easy, it was pretty much straight forward and wifi was strong. The entrance to the backyard of the Airbnb is a bit rocky so don’t expect to roll your luggage. There is pretty much all the essentials you’d need besides a hair dryer!
The negatives I’d mention is at the time of the booking there was a mention of a hidden bed that can be used for accommodate more guests but that has now been replaced with a desk/lamp and chair. Just be careful when you’re booking, this is really only ideal for 2 people and maybe a baby. Also, the bathroom sink and shower wasn’t fully wiped down, there was still dust and I found pieces of hair in some areas. Some extra towels would’ve been great as I stayed for 4 days, using the same one gets quiet grungy and I didn’t want to wash just 2 towels in their washer/dryer. One more thing I’d recommend maybe adding some privacy blinds or a tint to the front door! There are 3 small windows in the actual door and I didn’t really feel comfortable knowing someone could just peak on in. I ended covering the windows but it was a pretty big concern for me.
Thanks for the early check in!
