Host was very pleasant until the day I arrived in town. Apparently neighbors were alarmed that I'd visited prior to my stay and parked in the (wrong) parking spot. When I arrived at the airport in Austin, I received a message admonishing me to " During your stay, restrict yourself to only my condo unit while conducting yourself with modesty and quiet." Since I'd explained my reason for the stay was post-surgery recovery, I'm not sure why Rita thought I'd be entering other homes in a loud and immodest fashion. When I visited, I wore cargo shorts and a Hawaiian-style shirt, which I thought would be consistent with Austin-area sartorial standards. If she had Rita had not waited until the day I arrived at the airport to let me know her concerns, I might have worked something out (or canceled in time to get a full refund). This last-minute change in her tone led me to cancel, and cost me around $400.
The amenities list was somewhat misleading - there is no TV *in the private room.=,* and I'm not clear that the bathroom was private - i.e. exclusively for the guest's use. Prospective visitors would be wise to clarify any concerns well in advance.
The location is on the suburban west-side of Austin and mostly residential, however if you just need a place to sleep, the price is quite low, and may be suitable for someone on a budget.
