We went to Austin because of niece and goddaughter's wedding at the Austin Line on Sat, 9/3/22. We booked this place because of the slightly cheaper rate and the pictures looked good. But please read my comments below:
PROS:
1) Slightly cheaper rate than most.
2) Had clean linens to use.
CONS:
1) There was an unpleasant odor, a musty, old, damp furniture smell, when we opened the door and walked into the unit.
2) When we went to the bedroom with the queen-sized bed, I headed to the bathroom only to be greeted by 3 flies, one was a huge horsefly. I had to lock the bathroom door and I used a magazine to swat the flies. There was no fly swatter to use. I understand Texas is a desert, but it felt dirty/unhealthy to have flies inside the bathroom when you just walked into the unit.
3) The next morning, we found a dead cockroach inside the unit, behind the front entrance door.
4) Also, the same morning, after I got rid of the dead cockroach with a plastic bag, I went to wash my hands in the kitchen, I saw a live cockroach! It scared me. It scurried away. This was our 2nd day out of 6 days. We all couldn’t wait for our stay in this place to end.
5) The unkept Dog Playground was literally next to the unit entrance door. There were dog feces all over that playground even close to the fence approx. 4 feet away from the entrance door of the rental unit. It was disgusting.
5) Dogs barked at night and in the morning from the unit either next to us or above us.
6) The toilet seat in each bathroom was loose and slid to the sides. It was unsafe to do your business.
7) The plates and bowls available for use in the kitchen were old, scratched up and made of cheap plastic. They are overdue for replacements.
8) There were only 3 hangers in the entire unit. We were attending a wedding on Sat. and I had to iron or press shirts and skirts and had to drape the pressed clothes on the chairs in the kitchen/eat-in area.
9) There was no Wine cork screw opener. I bought wine bottles and had to go to the wine store again. Thank goodness they were giving away free ones which I left at the drawer in the kitchen.
