location is great. cannot beat being on the east side.
but, make no mistake...it is a dilapidated garage apartment above a rotted out garage. the place was dirty upon arrival, it feels (very) lived in and there was an enormous amount of cat dander. not professionally cleaned before hand and almost as if someone realized "crap. i need to rent this place!" and darted out the door.
that, and there was an aggressive amount of cockroaches...which is an austin 'thing' but kind of goes hand in hand with the cleanliness factor.
I understand you get what you pay for and this place is a bargain. but, the owner should hire someone to professionally clean the place before guests arrive, disclose the cats, and pay for a fumigation.
