I never leave bad reviews (check my review history if you don’t believe me!) but I feel compelled to after my experience here.
Overall the place is very clean and close to downtown, so that was nice. Now for the bad.
This place advertises having two beds, but pull-out bed turned out to be a disaster. First of all, it has a significant slant, which makes the springs pushing into your back worse. Then, we discovered there were no blankets for it. I messaged the host and was told that they were out of town and the housekeeper couldn’t bring one, so I try and purchase one myself. In a city I don’t live in, when I don’t have a car. I guess the owner doesn’t know anyone else in Austin who could do it? Red Flag.
The second issue was being awaken at 8am the morning of check-out by someone entering the unit. In my sleepiness I didn’t see who it was before they left, but it was very alarming. I contacted the host and they said it was the housekeeper. I am not sure why the housekeeper would be entering the unit at 8am without knocking when they should know people are staying there.
Overall, this air bnb felt like it was being run by a big, out of touch cooperation from afar. That is exactly the opposite experience people staying in Air BnBs want.
