We stayed at Chet's place for a full week for work in Austin. We used to live in Austin and are very familiar with this area, and were excited to find such a great Airbnb in one of our favorite neighborhoods, Clarksville. The location is ideal, being super close to downtown but still somewhat tucked away. Lots of things within walking distance including great restaurants, and downtown Austin. Chet's place was super clean (always the most important thing to me!), had lots of charm and character, and was really comfortable. The couch was great for relaxing and the beds were comfortable. I also appreciated that linens and towels were high quality, unlike many airbnbs that will give you the cheapest, least expensive towels/linens. The shower was nice and big and had great heat and shower pressure. Chet was really quick to respond and the keypad check in was super easy. We loved having a designated parking spot/carport, and it was really nice to have access to laundry so we could wash clothes half way through our stay.
The only thing that I didn't love about our stay was the noise of the bed frame in the master bedroom (very creaky and makes noise every time you move), and then the very loud dumpster that came every morning during our stay anytime between 5:30 a.m. and 7 a.m. (there are a lot of surrounding businesses on the same block and surrounding blocks). Because this is an older home as Chet discloses, almost anyone would hear this super loud noise so early in the morning. I'm usually a heavy sleeper but this woke me up every morning. That being said, I was able to fall back asleep and Chet thoughtfully provides earplugs throughout the Airbnb for sensitive sleepers. I would still stay here again despite this, but something to be aware of if you are super sensitive to noise or an ultra light sleeper.
