The space is clean and comfortable. However, there were a few problems.
1. The Kitchen is ill-equipped. The cookware is really small and poor quality, and so is the cutlery, making one of the big advantages of an AirBNB (the kitchen) not so useful. There were also some already opened containers of food, such as an opened bag of tostitos in the freezer, and cashews in the pantry. Not sure if they were left there on purpose, but regardless, I don't trust like that.
2. The unit is on the first floor, right against the loud street, while the listing boasts otherwise: "balcony looks out into an unforgettable view of Downtown Austin". What we really got was a patio (not a balcony) with a very forgettable view of an IHOP.
3. Wifi is extremely slow. The listing talks about 1Gb/s Google Fiber - multiple speed tests showed we were getting around 8-10Mbps, making it difficult to work remotely or stream anything. Party like it's 2002, I guess.
4. Location. For some people this might be a plus, but for us it wasn't. We aren't living the "Greek Life", so all the loud noise and partying and clogged streets (making it hard to get to the apartment at night) were just a headache, not to mention the drunk idiots being loud in the hallway in the middle of the night. In the morning you get to discover the random crap they leave on the floors of the apartment hallway and lobby, such as tree branches, beer bottles, and spilled food. If you are looking to party, this spot is great, just be aware of the potential downsides.
5. The host took (fairly minor) constructive criticism very poorly. For context, instead of purely written instructions to get into the unit, there are pictures of where to go with text on them with details - sounds great. However, these embedded pictures (not the ones for the listing) could not be expanded on the mobile app, so a lot of the text was cut off. I was unable to read the code because it was cut off. The host gave me the code and I notified them of the cutoff, but instead of acknowledging the obvious deficiency, they insisted (even after some back and forth) I should have used the desktop website and even "printed out the [images]". What is this, MapQuest? I don't know anyone my age who even owns a printer. They also said that it was hard to update the instructions because they have over 10 properties to manage. I guess it must be so difficult to manage so many properties :((((. Firstly, it doesn't make sense for me to use the desktop website in this way when I'm traveling, with 15+ images for getting into the unit, most people are going to be following along in the app. Secondly, I had notified the host that I was displaced from my apartment after it had been out of power for weeks, so I didn't even have a place where I could easily print out jack ****. I really hate people who can't take constructive criticism; it was a sucky way to start off the stay.
