This property could be pretty dang nice if it was kept up. It has several maintenance issues that should be addressed.
To start off, we got to the unit at 3:10pm after check-in started at 3pm. We walked up to 3 guys actively spray painting the front door red. They told us we couldn't close the door because the paint was wet. The company managing this property was responsive to my messages asking about when we could get in and actually close the door and they said they were told the door was painted at 1pm and should be dry by 3pm. Clearly not accurate as there was literally paint being sprayed before our eyes after 3pm. Anyways we go off and waste an hour and come back. Get into the unit and try to relax. About 30 min after we were back, someone was clearly back at the front door working, pulling tape off the handle or whatever and such. But they never announced themselves to us, knocked, nor did I receive any messages warning me. Quite disconcerting and a shitty start to our stay.
Now on to the maintenance issues.
1. the toilet valve is cracked and leaks water, the bowl barely fills with any water and struggles to flush and refill any water at all. It should be replaced.
2. The faucet spout in the bathtub is not accurately secured. It should be properly mounted so it does not rattle loosely in the wall during use.
3. Several kitchen cabinet handles are missing a screw so they just loosely hang and spin when pulled.
4. Bedroom closet pull light is only secured with a single screw, making it lilt to the side and feel as if you're going to pull the light down onto yourself. Needs the second screw that the mount is designed for.
5. The floors are disgusting. The damn glue from the vinyl planks is oviously leaking out everywhere. We had to wear shoes the entire time.
6. There's no weatherstripping on the front door so you can easily see daylight and feel air coming through several gap areas. It also makes it hella loud since it is right next to the metal gate which everyone uses and slams closed.
7. The unit smells like smoke. Seems like at a minimum, the air filters need to changed. It's quite gross.
Also, this unit is in an apartment complex with loads of bright LED security lamps. That's great until you get to the bedrooms whose wood blinds do not cover the entire window and they don't have blackout curtains in the room. We woke up at 3am every dang night with our bodies telling us it was daytime due to it being so stupid bright in there. Could have read a book with everything as closed and blocked off as possible. Desperately needs blackout curtains.
TLDR;
Pros: Central-ish location to North Austin. Clean surfaces and areas (excluding the floors). Off-street parking.
Cons : Clearly maintenance issues. Toilet may or may not flush depending on how recently it was previously flushed. Disgusting sticky floors. Desperately needs blackout curtains.
