This apartment (it's not a cottage as the name suggests) was in the perfect location for exploring the University of Texas's campus as well as near many bus stops to get you to downtown. The check in wasn't super smooth but this was because the batteries for the padlock had died. Adam was helpful in this matter and ended up moving me to a different apartment unit within the building. The apartment had very few amenities (i.e. soaps, washcloths) but I felt it suited me well being that I spent very little time there. however, both my brother and I did have a lot of allergies/sneezing, I'm not sure if this was due to a lack of cleanliness or that we were allergic to the cleaning products used. Definitely something to keep in mind if you're sensitive to allergens.
There were no noise problems like some of the other reviewers mentioned but it could have been because I was there from Sunday to Thursday. I would stay here again if visiting Austin given the affordability of it and convenience for getting places.
