Full disclosure: I reach out to the hosts with this feedback shortly after my stay and did not receive an acknowledgement of my concerns. Proceed with caution before booking.
The exterior and interior photos reflect the property accurately, however, our issues with this property is in relation to the cleanliness of the interior. We paid a discounted rate, and am willing to accept the price i paid for the quality i got, but had I paid full price, I would have been more upset at the condition of the interior. My fellow guests and I found penis shaped confetti stuck in the living room rug, a used bar of soap on top of the shower stall in the master bath, hair balls in the carpeting upstairs as well as in the shower in the upstairs bathroom.
The hosts sent a number of messages in advance of our stay, and i appreciated their willingness to allow two of my local Austin friends to join us in the home. The hosts are up front about needing to know who will be on premises and were prompt in responding to questions pre-booking. However, the number of borderline threatening emails received after booking about appropriate and acceptable behavior caused mild concern that we’d be heavily penalized for the most minor error. In the emails we received we were also directed to a binder of rules and procedures that we were unable to locate. While we enjoyed use of the pool and were able to relax for our one night stay space, I do not foresee myself staying at this or another Roost Austin property in the future.
