Here goes, the GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY. I will start with the good as people often do not read past the bad or ugly.
GOOD: The location is logistically ideal for Austin outside the downtown. Nearby is access to the I35, 183, 130, 1, and 45 making all of Austin (and surrounding areas) easily accessible. The hosts were also SUPER Responsive and did their best to address any issues. The space is also dog friendly.
BAD: We arrived to a unit that was not well cleaned and had to clean it ourself. We we're unable to get access early as requested because there was a tenant prior, but it did not appear to be cleaned. The sofas had not been moved to vacuum which when moved showed some indications of vermin droppings. In addition the Dishwasher was not working and once a handyman was sent, it took several additional days to fix. We we're without the dishwasher for 10 of our 30 day stay. We did request a days refund for the inconvenience which was granted, but expect to be without any major appliances that do not work for at least a week while they are serviced. The neighbors dogs did bark through the night on occasion.
UGLY: the droppings turned out to be a vermin issue coming in below the sink/dishwasher (may have been the reason for the down appliance) The vermin turned out to be small rats which ownership did take seriously but was never fully addressed prior to our departure. We did request they did not out poison down for concern of our dog . We also both had received several bug bites while in the unit, although there was no indication of any major insect infestation. The area of the properties location is borderline safe. Certainly would be concerned if you are a single woman. Overall the cost for the unit was probably not worth it, and I would pay a bit more next time to stay elsewhere.
Overall I think this is an accurate and fair representation of the unit. If you are on a tight budget it will do for a short stay, but would not recommend a month long stay, as once you are there, cancellation and booking elsewhere is not a real option without sacrificing your payment.
