This may be a lengthy review, but it’s important I include details since Peter’s Airbnb took care of us during the Austin freeze in February.
At the time, we were going on 72 hours with no power, our house had reached freezing temperatures, a boil-water notice was in place (with no power..), and stores were completely empty or closed due to circumstances.
Because this was city-wide, hotels and Airbnb’s were either booked or had inflated prices into the thousands for a studio room. Peter’s listing was not inflated at a city-wide trying time. So appreciated.
After constantly refreshing, I was surprised to see a pet-friendly unit for such an affordable price and great location. After looking, I thought I saw the unit had a generator too. Perfect.
Peter responded promptly into the evening when I asked if he had power. He responded back confirming he did, along with water pressure in the shower. So thankful.
Unfortunately, we needed an early check-in...
Wow, he accommodated that, too. Letting us check in early although he accommodated guests the night before in a similar circumstance.
Peter was communicative and 100% correct in describing the unit to be cozy and ready for guests. The finishing touches such as setting the TV to virtual fireplace and heating the room for check-in (we were so cold!!), water bottles (scarce at this point), bathroom toiletries, pristine cleanliness (with short notice from new guests), and a recommendation where we can walk four doors down to hot coffee and delicious breakfast tacos. Keep in mind, half the town was shut down at this point, maybe more.
Then, Peter went completely above and beyond by reaching out and asking if we needed another night from his next guest cancelling. We did, we still hadn’t had power, but I had just assumed I’d have to find another place since things were booking so fast. I appreciated the thoughtfulness.
The cherry on top: Peter magically had water bottles delivered the following day!! I was in disbelief from the scarcity of water, open stores, and delivery times were pushed to the following week!! Amazing.
Peter clearly goes above and beyond for his guests. A lot of people’s true character became clear in the crisis for Austin. For me, Peter will be remembered as the hero of the Austin freeze for us. I vehemently recommend Peter as a host, and the unit is everything described.
Thank you Peter,
