I've stayed in 25+ Airbnb's with my wife over the past 2 years as we have travelled across the country and world. I'd say I have some experience to give an honest review.
THE PRO'S:
- The location cannot be beat, right in the heart of the city, just about everything is within walking distance. We took full advantage of this!
- The on-site gated parking was fantastic. To have a no-hassle parking situation, steps to the Airbnb door in the middle of downtown Austin is a HUGE amenity.
THE CON'S:
- 100% the worst bathroom I have ever experienced on Airbnb. There was a mold pocked above the shower head that would drip while the shower was in use along with a shower curtain that was also moldy. It was a very unpleasant experience to shower here. What makes it worse is that a previous review made mention of this and has yet to be fixed.
- While the entire space felt "clean", upon further inspection you could see that this place needs a deep clean.
- The place is very dark. The lighting is very poor and there was a lamp in the corner that would'nt work.
- The couch is small and was not big enough to comfortably sit 4 people. It's a cheap IKEA couch that makes sitting in front of the TV a less than ideal experience.
Summary: This place seems geared towards a younger crowd that cares more about cost and location and less about cleanliness and comfort. The location and parking is fantastic but is not enough to entice me to stay here again.
