This is a great Airbnb, very cute and unique space. Staying on left way studios property is such a treat. The location is great and is the best thing about this listing. Very close to Rainey and downtown Austin.
That being said, the communication with the host was down right awful. This reservation has the potential to be one of the best if the host did a better job at responding. She is completely non-responsive on the app, literally she did not respond to a single one of my messages. I even called her number and left voicemails and she didn’t answer any of them nor tried calling me back. When I arrived to the property, I lucked out that she just so happened to have arrived at the same time because she never gave me check in instructions. She even jokingly said to my face that she was ignoring my calls.
I like to pride myself in being a low maintenance tenet but in this situation an emergency did happen that I needed the hosts attention for. The power went out on us and it was warmer day. I messaged, called, and voicemailed the host many many times and again she didn’t respond to a single one. The tiny home quickly got very hot and I started to walk around the property to find someone to help us. I lucked out again that I found a man outside that works there and he helped us get the power back on.
Again, this is a cute space with a great location but the host needs to be better. This has been my worst experience so far with a host not communicating.
