If you are attending anything at the Convention Center, the location is great. Ryan's place however, was not what we were expecting. I will start with the positives beyond the location. The beds were comfortable, the showers good and shampoo, dishwasher tablets, laundry soap and coffee pods were provided. Overall though, it felt a bit neglected (inside and out). On the inside, the blind hooks are all broken, it needs new paint, the towel hooks in the bathroom are missing and the pots/pans in the kitchen look like they belong in a college apartment. We couldn't get the air conditioning/heating to work properly and there were no instructions and little things like the instructions for the wifi on airbnb are not accurate, but there is a sign in the house. Just small details that start to add up.
We came home one day to no water and no notice. Ryan quickly responded and said one thing while the construction worker at the other apartment, who turned it off, said something entirely else. The apartment manager didn't respond at all. It was on soon enough so not a huge deal.
What was a rather significant (and this may just be TX) was our resident cockroach who seemed to live behind the stove and kept making an appearance on our last night. H/she was huge and we failed in our attempts to catch/kill him. I have family who live in TX so appreciate that cockroaches are a problem, but this added to our overall impression - and that uneasy feeling about the food we had on the counter all week.
