My friend and I booked Michael's loft for an extended weekend stay in Austin. Overall, the accommodation offers enough space for 2 people, is located within walking distance to many city highlights, and has a spacious, well-decorated bathroom. There were, however, some inaccuracies and disappointments in the details of this stay.
The curtains we found upon check-in were extremely sheer, and there was an active construction site next door. We did not feel like we had enough privacy and could clearly see some of the workers looking into the loft while we were there which made changing, etc. difficult. Additionally, the site was very loud during daytime hours on weekdays and on Saturday. I would recommend the hosts either update the curtains so that they are not transparent (matching the listing photo), and / or notifying guests that there is limited privacy.
The loft was overall very clean upon check-in, but both mattress sheet sets were FULLY covered in dog hairs. This made us unsure of the cleanliness of the sheets and I, being severely allergic to dogs, began experiencing allergy symptoms. The hosts changed the sheets out after we asked which offered some improvement but I still don't think this is acceptable for guests to see upon checking in. We also found the beds to be very hard and uncomfortable. Between the early morning sunlight, construction noises, and beds we did not get a good night sleep during our 3 night stay.
For a basic accommodation at this price point, the above may be OK for some but we did not find the loft to be a solid value overall.
