We enjoyed our visit to the Austin area. The house interior adequately met our needs. It was small but well laid out and tastefully updated. Fully stocked with essential items (kitchen appliances, table and cookware, paper/plastic goods, tea, coffee, olive oil, laundry/dishwasher/hand soap, shampoo/conditioner/body wash). Dijo was very responsive to our requests although we could have used the dining chair he indicated would be repaired and returned the following day.
The main negative is the neighborhood. Although Dijo assured us he’d never had any issues, the area is a bit run down. We wouldn’t be surprised if this is one of the first houses on this street as part of transitioning the area. Cars parked on lawns. Homes in disrepair. Cars and motorcycles racing up and down the street with extremely loud exhausts at all hours of the day and night. Some loud neighbors’ cars made sleeping sometimes difficult as they would come and go at odd hours. Expect road noise regardless of the time of day or night. The street appears to be a pass through or shortcut to enter the freeway. After our visit, we felt the rental price was too high for the location and would not stay here again.
