This place is part of what it seems to be a whole apt building owned by a group to do airbnb…managed almost like a hotel… but then it’s not a hotel.. I guess you could say it’s like a really bad hotel. It’s these type of listings and groups that will bring Airbnb down if they don’t do something about it.
This one seems to be called front-desk, but there is no actual front-desk in the building… but people who help you through the phone that are not even based in Austin. Usually all of my reviews are about the host, yet on this one there wasn’t even one.
I went down from NY on a long work trip and being Oct in Austin (ACL, F1) my options were limited. From the pictures it looked just fine, of course they sell you the pool, and the gym… but then apt has bad quality bed sheets, pillows, basic and limited kitchen utensils. Cookie cutter decorations… It’s all very cheap and impersonal - a greedy operation in my opinion.
I would recommended maybe for short stays but I think you might as well just find an actual hotel or just another airbnb. For a medium term/long stay I wouldn’t recommend.
