After years of using airbnb because of preferring a home away from home I think I'm finally done. I'm just tired of being drawn in by good photography, paying top dollar for places and ultimately being disappointed. And it's not even that this place was 'that' bad. After we unloaded the entire vehicle, 3 dogs and a baby, and getting settled in we quickly regretted our booking our stay here. We were met with strong potpourri smell that was masking a moldy smell coming from the laundry room with the door closed. I'm not sure if we got used to it or if running the washer made the odor less strong. The sofa was uncomfortable and felt like a college dorm room sofa, the tv did not even have local channels. It supposedly had a smart tv-type set up but there were no aux inputs being picked up by the tv. On the morning of our check out (10 am sharp apparently) we were trying to pack up everything and clean everything according to the house rules as quickly as possible, but the cleaning lady was ringing the doorbell at 10:30. It was an overall clean place but the bathrooms were old. Rubber mats on the bottoms of the tubs made me not want to use them. Paint was touched up with the wrong colors and finishes downstairs; this made the place feel cheap and sloppy. There is a $100 pet fee that we did not realize when booking. We would have happily paid it if the experience had been nicer. There were pros: The location was great and backing up to the green belt was a nice feature. Pet friendly was key for us and the shared yard with the neighbor was fully fenced and our escape artist male couldn't find any weak spots whatsoever. Check in was easy and the master bedroom was clean and the bed comfortable. All in all we would not stay here again. For the almost $1000 we spent on 2 nights we could have stayed in a luxury hotel in downtown Austin.
