This Airbnb is a wonderful space. I’ve lived in Austin for 5 years and we needed a place to stay as we were transitioning into a move. The home is very aesthetically beautiful, very clean, and the hosts have fantastic communication.
I wish I could give it 5 stars because of how much I appreciated the hosts, but I want to give an accurate review! I do think that this space is definitely more suitable for short stays, and isn’t ideal for longer than a week. If you’re visiting for a weekend or week, I highly recommend. However, there are a few reasons I wouldn’t recommend staying for longer than that time duration. I also saw a few other reviews made the same comments.
- the shower is extremely small, with awkward water pressure and positioning, making the showering process a bit uncomfortable.
- there is a very small sink in the kitchen and not one in the bathroom, making it difficult to wash your face, shave, or brush your teeth. It also has extremely intense water pressure that sprays all over you every time you use the sink.
- the fridge temperature isn’t consistent, so we had groceries go bad virtually every two days. It was really annoying, especially considering there isn’t a stove or oven either, so we mostly had to eat out.
- the toilet is inconsistent with flushing. Luckily, my husband does construction, so he knew what to do when it was acting up, however, it was inconvenient.
- lastly, I wish there was more thorough communication with the other guests that the back house wasn’t a part of their stay or to the people below us that there was someone on top of them. We had multiple people show up at our door out of curiosity, and while it wasn’t inherently their fault, I felt consistently anxious about people randomly coming to our door to explore. The downstairs neighbors were mostly nice, but we had one man pretty consistently harass us and showing up to our door to “be quiet,” even when we were already in bed.
Overall, this place really is a great stay and the hosts are fantastic. The location is great and the isolation is really nice. I also appreciated having a yard for our dog. Unfortunately, I just wish some of the amenities would have been more convenient.
