Pro & Cons
Pro’s
Great Location - I used to live in Austin so I love to visit from time to time. This gem of a city is growing so fast! The East side is developing quite a bit, it’s pretty exciting to be close to the changes to explore.
Two Included Parking Spaces - Extra parking on the street in the alley by Wendy’s, it’s pay to park, but not far from the unit. That’s a plus.
Walking distance to Whole Foods & Target - If you like to cook your meals instead of eating out on the town this kitchen is a great open space with basic kitchen supplies to do so. The markets around the corner are convenient. The bar top is wide, open and perfect to catch up, reconnect with friends, family, or co-working.
Natural light - One of my favorite features of the space. The city scapes and sounds give me NYC feels. The natural light pouring in the morning made me want to extend my stay.

Cleaning Fee - The cleaning fee is high for the place not to be perfect. There was an old eye-lashes on the lamp in the master bedroom from a previous guest, stains on the couch, spills under the bed, mold in both bathrooms... Also, it’s weird that we have to take out our trash, wash all the dishes and put them up. What is the $150 cleaning fee for?
Struck rules about noise - but it’s the neighborhoods you need to worry about. There was a party in the unit to the left and right of ours. We are downtown though, so it’s kind of expected.
Linens - There were not wash cloths, only hand towels hanging by the sink, only 3 body towels, and no blow dryer.
Stairs - Pack light. They are a doozy. (3rd floor, 3 flights of stairs.)
In closing, this is a great space to crash for a short stay. Cleanliness could be better in general, but because of the cleaning fee I expected perfection and that was not the case. A cool space if you don’t mind the things mentioned above.
