I will start with the positives about this place. Peter was very communicative if there was a problem and immediately did his best to solve it. Austin was having an issue with the water and I came home to a place stocked with water which was greatly appreciated as most of the supermarkets were sold out for the evening by the time I got to town.
I must say that the room seems a bit misrepresented in the ad. It is listed as a “studio suite” which in my mind would suggest there was more than a shoebox sized room to spread out in. It lists a kitchen which if you look closely at the pictures, you do not see any appliances in the “sleeping area”. Something else that would seem to imply that there was another room. No. The mini-fridge and microwave on top of it are located next to the entrance of the room at the corner of the bed. This should not count as a kitchen. This space is really a room in someone’s house with its own seperate entrance and bathroom. It is not a suite...or even a studio for that matter.
When I first checked in the room reeked of wet dog which Peter apologized and fixed immediately. Another unfortunate incident occurred when a friend of his came into the place unannounced...using the keycode to get into the door while I was still inside. If she came 10 minutes earlier I would’ve just been getting out of the shower. Again, Peter apologized for that.
I do not think the space is quite worth the 93/night I paid while I was there and I’m not really sure why the day after I left the price went down to 56/night. I’m not current with the going’s on in Austin but there didn’t seem to be anything happening in town to warrant such dynamic pricing.
I travel to Austin for work at least once a year or so and I would not want to stay in this space again.
