I don't write bad reviews but in this case I decided to publish one.
We are two scientists from San Francisco who were visiting Austin for business. We needed a decent place near our meeting point to crash for two nights.
While Ryan's place looked really good, the absence of any type of sound insulation made this stay a torture for both of us! The studio is on the street level on the corner with two walls and two windows along these streets. With absolutely no soundproof, we could not sleep at all since we were listening to people chatting, laughing, vomiting and urinating just couple of feet from our pillows and beds!
This is terrible experience! And this should be communicated in the property description!
When I contacted Ryan to complain, Ryan told me that he cannot be responsible for the natural city noise and that this building was build in 1980-ies.
I was living in 14-16 century homes in many loudest cities around the globe and never experience anything like this! And this is correct, Ryan cannot be responsible for the natural city noise but he MUST fix the noise proof in his property! Or give people know that they need to prepare for some "city experience"!
