My husband, toddler, and I visited Austin for a 4 day trip. We stayed at Bryan's townhouse for 3 nights. Check-in was easy. I had a question about the door's keypad and Bryan answered my call right away. The townhouse is located 5-10 minutes away from most of Austin's attractions, so that was very convenient.
The townhouse itself was adequate. It is very small, but that was fine for our family of 3. The listing said that it would sleep 6, but I wouldn't suggest that since you'd all be sharing one tiny bathroom. Also, there a queen bed and 2 twin beds upstairs (all of which were super comfortable!). The additional "beds" are pull-outs downstairs and are not very comfortable.
The outside is not maintained well, so we didn't sit out in the backyard. The inside was pretty clean- it was apparent that the bathroom had been freshly cleaned and the bedrooms looked good as well. However, downstairs, the fridge needed a good wipe down and there was something wrong with the garbage disposal. It smelled when we checked in. I ran some hot water down the sink with the disposal on, but that made it smell way worse. The smell would clear up after a while, but would return whenever we used the sink.
Overall, the townhouse served us just fine for our trip. However, it was no where near being worth $500 for a 3 night stay. I see now that it's being rented out for just $65/night, half how much I paid, and that hurts! For $65/night, I'd give this place a 5+++ star review. If you get if for that price, take it. But don't spend much more than that.
