I stayed at Meghans place for a month while I was between apartments. Meghan is really nice and helpful and her house is homey but I can’t help but feel like a few things weren’t really disclosed in the Airbnb description. When I stumbled across this Airbnb I really adored that she had two dogs, and “occasionally fosters from Great Pyrenees Rescue”. However, when I walked in, there were a total of four mid-large sized dogs living in the house. I would’ve definitely preferred if she disclosed that information in the description because I am a night shift nurse and sleeping/getting things done during the day was hard due to the dogs and the noise level.
Two of the dogs are fosters and the other two are her own. Her own dogs were sweet and well-trained. However, the two foster dogs weren’t trained. One of them had extreme separation anxiety and would cry for hours when Meghan would leave the house. I would be asleep, of course, and woken up to that for several days. Also, I left my food on the dining table for 1 minute while I went to get something from the room and my food was gone- one of the foster dogs was standing on top of the table eating it lol. I grew up with dogs and never had that happen to me to my face while I watched! It seems so funny when you actually think about it but that wasn’t the first time they ate my food even though I was being careful of not leaving stuff out.
Apart from the dogs, I didn’t know until I stayed here that the temperature is set at 76 degrees during the day and 74 at night. For people who are visiting in the summer, please be aware because the thermostat cannot be changed! There were definitely times were I was just doing stuff in my room during the day and would be sweating which is super weird for me because I’m usually cold all the time.
Overall, I would recommend this place if you absolutely adore dogs and don’t mind the noise level/temperatures, it’s relatively close to downtown Austin, and near South Park meadows shops!
