This apartment was just as described on Airbnb and exactly what we were hoping for: clean, comfortable, quiet, and perfectly located. We were 2 friends visiting Austin for 4 days who wanted something close to SoCo and downtown but also affordable, well-maintained, private, and away from the action. This fit perfectly. It's pretty much a newly-remodeled, furnished apartment, so everything is new and clean and unclutterred (no personal effects, empty closets & drawers, etc). To me, this is a HUGE selling point as it is more like a hotel that you can make your space vs. staying in someone's apartment.
The gigantic, ridiculously comfortable king bed allowed us both to sleep there without it being awkward (we are friends, not a couple). The living room couch could be used as a bed in a pinch (not as comfy, but definitely big enough). Comforter, pillows, towels all new and clean and high-quality. The apartment was also very well-appointed by our host: complimentary toiletries in the bathroom, coffee/decaf/cream/sugar/sweetener/tea in kitchen along w/ coffeemaker and anything you'd need to cook/eat/drink, iron & ironing board, etc. Wi-fi was strong and easy to connect to. Cable is very basic...but who cares!
We never met our host and communication was solely through Airbnb (with both the host and his assistant), but there was no need to meet, quite frankly. We were sent a detailed email prior to arriving that outlined every detail we would need to know, plus some useful links, info, and suggestions. It was a seamless transaction. I would definitely stay there again and recommend to anyone looking for a quality, spotlessly clean, very affordable, hassle-free place to stay. Airbnb at its best!
