As a fair review, I will give Nancy & Vin's place a solid 2/5 stars. The hosts were always available to be communicated with quickly and easily and the location of the property is absolutely prime with so many things easily within a walk's distance, this is where the overall hospitality stops.
My girlfriend and I booked this place for 4 days due to the immaculate reviews and location; sad to say we cut our stay short and checked out the next morning due to a multitude of issues in the property.
-Smelly dumpster directly in front of the property from another business
-Paper-thin walls, could hear all aspects from all directions, left-right, outside, upstairs. Found it hard to sleep with all the noise
-Broken furniture, mirror, and toilet seat; broken decor (Vases specifically)
-Overall unclean near window sills w/ dead bugs and dirt; messy washer area with tools scattered.
-Back patio is unclean and unswept; did not bother to go out there with all the foliage that has fallen.
-Dirty/Smelly sheets that were clearly overbleached and extra blankets with hair and dander from previous renters.
-Random source of fruit flies/mosquitos (potentially from the drain, not really sure)
Nancy and Vin were easily within reach and understood the situation and responded quickly, this however is not the experience I wanted to sustain on my first day of vacation in Austin. Until a new cleaning crew is hired I would not recommend this place as the awesome reviews do not reflect at all the experience I had. As one of the more expensive properties in the area, I was very unimpressed.
