Overall stay at Alex's was OK. Location was great for our trip - but check in was not easy and overall the building did not feel secured. Check in instructions didn't work when we buzzed and we were unable to get into the building. As we stood outside with our luggage wondering what to do and contacting the host, someone let us in which was nice of them - but also a bit unsafe. We noticed other people coming into the building without access as well (a man who was previously napping on the sidewalk outside was seen walking in our hallway later that day). There were also limited check out instructions. Overall communication was poor from the host. He also contacted us at one point to let him get into the building during our stay as he only had one key (which we had) and needed to get something. We did not respond and overall just thought he was a bit unprofessional compared to other hosts we've had.
Following our trip Alex accused us of damage to the bedroom door which we did not do. After going through the claims process - Airbnb agreed that we did not cause the damage and closed his case. I would encourage anyone staying here to do a thorough check of any damage to the unit and document upon arrival so he does not try to accuse you of it and try to get $$.
Austin as city was great! After getting access we had a great time but unfortunately the false claims of damage felt fraudulent and overall safety was a concern while we stayed there.
