As a travel writer and experienced AirBnB-er, I have very mixed feelings about this stay. It’s a cute tiny home, and I’m sure at one point it may have been good value. However it was lacking cleanliness, things were broken, and the check-in process was rough with the cleaner showing up late (when I was already there - it seems the place hadn’t been cleaned at the 4pm check in time). There were broken blinds, broken lamps, and a very dirty kitchen. I attempted to use the oven to warm up a meal and it was so filthy with old food and residue that it began to smoke and set off the fire alarm. The toaster oven did the same. I gave up. The air conditioner seems to need attention, because periodically it would begin to vibrate horrendously loud in the middle of the night and wake us up.
Last but not least… this is not a safe neighborhood. I was approached by a stray pit bull on the first day when I was unloading my car. Barking dogs nonstop at night. This would certainly not be a neighborhood you would want to take a walk around, as this area of Austin has not yet gentrified and there are some unsavory characters floating around.
I really wish I could say better things. With some love, cleaning and repairs, this could again be a reasonable place to stay.
