This was an okay spot. Going by the picture posted on the ABB ad, we certainly could have used the chair that was shown for additional seating. If you are two couples, you really don't want to sit shoulder to shoulder on the small couch. It does not work out. The tall chairs constant squeaking and rickety-wobbly table did not make for comfortable seating either. For me, the condo was not conducive to a relaxed atmosphere. As stated by others, the location is fine although at night walking back after dark it felt somewhat sketchy in places. The property is gated though, so that is a plus.
The bathroom needs updating. There is a spot above the shower head that looks like it could fall in at any time and has a rusted moldy look to it. Bathtub could use a bar to hold onto when getting in and being in the shower. It was very slippery. There are two bathrooms (sink/toilet) but only one bathtub/shower. It is my problem for assuming it was a two-bathroom setup as in two showers and two sink toilet areas. I did reiterate before booking if it was two-bath, but I guess my idea of what that meant differed from the owner. When we as two couples were looking for a place to stay, our number priority was to have two separate bathrooms each with a shower. The ABB ad should somehow read differently than it does. I will know going forward with ABB to make sure to ask about both when it says two-bath. The toilet overflowed onto the floor in one of the bathrooms the second night we were there. It happened at 11:30 pm. I called the 2nd person listed in our docs and she said to contact a different person who was the property manager. We had to throw our towels down to sop up the water and call the property manager to bring new towels. They were brought later the next day. The beds were comfortable. Blanket and a comforter on one bed, sheet and 2 throw blankets for the other bed.
Kitchen is sparse as far as what is offered in the way of kitchen supplies. There was only 1 large knife, no containers or plastic wrap to refrigerate things. The sponge under the sink was used. Not too sanitary. No extras in the closet other than garbage bags and liquid shower wash. We had to purchase things for the week above and beyond what we thought we would be for an ABB. There was an almost empty box of laundry detergent. The couple with us did laundry and that emptied the box.
We were roused from our sleep most mornings at 6:00 am by a garbage truck that was at the property next door. Sunday was the only day it didn't seem to happen. Pool was fine to cool off. Wish there would have been swim towels provided for that since we used the towels we had for showering. We spent much less time at the property than we would have liked. We did drive to most areas to shop and eat so "being in walking distance to things in the City" was not really worth it for the stay. We will look for a quiet neighborhood in the 'burbs if/when we return to Austin.
