I will start by saying that the over-all score is marred by situations outside the owners control.
So let's start with the pros:
+ Wonderful location that was spotless on arrival. The cleaning crew really knocked it out of the park.
+ Communication was constant. We came in to a leaky a/c and it was called in and fixed within an hour. The owner was really gracious in every response.
+ My partner and I had read about water heating issues but the water got very hot and stayed that way once on.
+ Street parking is very generous!
onto the cons:
+ The construction next door started at 7 and went on until 5. The apartment would shake with the more aggressive work being done forcing my partner and I to give up our much-wanted indoor time for the Austin heat. This was a real deal breaker and something I wish was communicated about in the listing as, ultimately, it led to is leaving a full day earlier. This was a real heartbreaker for us as we wanted to spend most of our time on site.
F.Y.Is:
+Bring an extra blanket if you don't like messing with the temperature settings.
+We make pretty good use of our towels but some might want to either request an extra set or bring their own.
Ultimately this is a reluctantly given 3. I wish construction hadn't marred the trip, and cost me the third day out of pocket.
