We enjoyed our visit to Austin—the weather was perfect! The home was clean and provided almost everything we needed except uninterrupted sleep and we wanted to make sure to pass along the details.
In your “House Rules” notes, you remind guests to be mindful of the apartment neighbors below the house. Unfortunately, it was the other way around. Three of our four nights, we were awoken in the middle of the night or very early morning. There were loud voices and the smell of marijuana was intense. Even as we checked in, we noticed the smell but didn’t figure out where it was coming from until later that evening. After a 5:30 am wake up from the lower apartment on Saturday 11/25, the landscapers arrived at 8 am and began leaf blowing all around the house. We did not want to call you during our stay in case they got mad at us and made matters worse!! We had concerns when we initially booked about sharing a house with unknown tenants on the first floor, unfortunately those concerns turned out to be valid.
The alley is also so loud with trash trucks operating late night and early morning. You may want to consider a noise machine for your guests.
A couple of recommendations we have for future guests would be to replace many of the blinds since they do not give guests their full privacy and place a small television in the living room.
