We LOVE the location of Muhammad’s place - it was so close to my husband’s office (he was on a business trip) and it was within walking distance to campus and all the food trucks and numerous restaurants. We only used the car a few times to go to bigger grocery stores and visit friends.
The apartment is also surrounded by a quiet neighborhood so I was able to walk our baby in the stroller for his nap every day. If you come with a stroller like us, you can use the street entrance which is super convenient. The bedroom entrance would be too tight for strollers but it’s directly at the parking garage and our spot is directly at the garage door! This is awesome for Austin cuz I can imagine parking may be an issue.
The room itself is big enough for one or two people. It feels a bit small for us and the baby AND 2 suitcases. But Muhammad helped us put a pack’n’play next to our bed so it was enough room for us to walk. The room is pretty quiet. Only 1 or 2 nights of the 14 nights we stayed there, there were some college kids talking loud/singing birthday song in the hallway but it didn’t last long and our baby slept through every night so we have nothing to complain.
Muhammad is super hospitable and thoughtful! He knew that our baby was coming, so he bought a toy car and put a baby shampoo in the bathroom. I thought for a young man like him, it was incredible. Our baby was happy when he saw the toy lol.
We LOVED the fact that there is washer and dryer in the apartment for us to use. We were able to wash away the mess from the baby quickly every time accident happened. This was a lifesaver for us.
Kitchen was functional. Full size fridge, oven, stovetop and microwave. The dishwasher was broken. Muhammad responded very fast and came twice to check up on it. The only thing is that there were no chairs so we had to stand or sit on the mattress on the floor.
Overall we are really happy with our booking. I love the fact that Muhammad is also so fast to come to our rescue when we needed something. He is super friendly and hospitable. I don’t think I could have found a better place for our trip to Austin this time.
