The room was absolutely wonderful for our stay! It was very cozy and had everything we needed to accommodate a great stay! However, I am giving it less than 5 stars because we had major issues regarding safety most likely because of the building location.
There was a man loitering next to the building entrance luring women to speak to him. Upon telling him we didn’t want to interact with him he proceeded to state that he was “coming upstairs”. We told him NO, but he tried forcing his way into the lobby area jerking the door open and attempting the door code. This led us to calling the police and needing a police escort up to our room.
It was very frightening for our group of girls because he knew the code to the door and wouldn’t leave the premises. We were unaware of his true intentions, but he harassed us to an extreme extent and made us feel extremely threatened.
Before the police arrived we had tried walking down the street to a more busy location so we weren’t as alone and he attempted to follow our group as long as he could before the police arriving.
I would say that this Air BnB is a great place to stay for any large group or group that is traveling with men. It is a very nice property with easy Parking Garage access. But for a smaller group of just women I would say that safety is a MAJOR issue. The homeless were sleeping on the street right by the entrance door and we even encountered someone trying to sell drugs (which we also informed police about).
I think for the issue of safety the price of this property was a bit expensive. But the location is convenient for anyone trying to enjoy the Downtown Austin environment.
