First of all the communication was great. The hosts checked in every day. We chose this place because it was pet friendly. We did advise the host that we had 2 small dogs, each under 10 lbs. There was a lot of confusion regarding the pet fee and we had no idea how much we would be charged until our last day. I felt that a pet friendly place would have set fees that you are told in advance. We were aware there would be a fee which we have no problem with..it was the surprise factor we didn’t care for.
As far as pets, there is a fenced in area but a two foot opening under the gate directly on to a busy street requires you to leash your dog at all times. There is absolutely no grass on the property so you are crossing the street to the golf course for a grassy area.
Not sure how one reviewer said they enjoyed sitting outside watching their dogs play? There isn’t a chair anywhere or any outside space at all.
The property is at best an efficiency hotel room sparsely stocked. Designed for one person for a night. It was missing touches like wine glasses, nothing larger than a cereal bowl for any cooking, not even a toaster. We questioned the lack of a can opener and the host sent one over the next day.
The glass windows are impressive but keep in mind you will be on public display so keeping the shades (which had several stains on them) closed is a necessity. TV in living room didn’t work due to being unable to connect to internet.
Due to the proximity to UT Memorial Stadium be prepared on a game day to get woken up very early for band practice and terrible traffic.
Although this isn’t a requirement from hosts, a basic supply of coffee to avoid a late night run to the grocery store is greatly appreciated. We had nothing. A small basic welcome gift is something that would have been a nice touch, especially since this was not an inexpensive property.
There were also rat droppings in the bathroom which was rather gross.
