While we loved visiting Austin end of December 2019, we did not enjoy our stay in this bnb because it fell short of the advertised expectations. Here are the pros and cons we observed so you can decide whether or not it's worth it to you to book this bnb:
Pros:
1. Central location to downtown Austin making it easy to walk around a lot.
Cons:
1. Unresponsive host: when I notified the host that all 5 of us were unable to connect to the wifi, he simply said it must be a problem with our electronics because he stood outside the condo and was able to connect to the wifi without an issue. He then ignored my follow up messages that we still couldn't connect to the wifi.
2. Poor wifi connection: While the host just blamed us for not being able to connect to wifi and refused to look into it any more, we figured out that actually the wifi connection is poor because the router is in a centralized location not in the unit so you might have connection for a few seconds just then you'd get kicked off right away.
3. Poor lighting: the lights are quite dim and there's no way to turn it up. Ladies, you will have a hard time putting on make up in the terrible lighting.
4. Iron has a caked-on black substance on it that got on my clothing when I used it. The host stated he would replace it the next day but that never happened and he ignored my request when I asked about it again the next day.
5. You can hear all the street noise loud and clear because the unit is a corner unit on the ground floor.
