C. had been doing construction to this unit for over a month, after discovering a leak. 24 hours prior to our arrival, she notified us that she would be moving us to her other unit, because it was available. I feel certain that she would have canceled our reservation had another user rented the second location at the same time, because she charges more for it. It’s separate from the house, but quite small with really low ceilings and no artistic vibe- not what we were hoping for.
Because we were given such little notice, and we had already begun driving there, we were forced to accept, else we would have been forced look elsewhere and pay even more for a last minute location that allows pets (if there were any available).
We didn’t spend a ton of time in the room, partly because Austin is so cool, and partly because we felt crammed in there with ourselves, our two dogs, and our suitcases.
Our accommodation was clean and had a nice bed, although we had to use brightly glowing space heaters to keep warm at night (in December). She still charged the city tax via a third party vendor, which made us uncomfortable. We felt that she should have built that into the price or cleaning fee.
