We had a mixed experience staying at this property. While in general we had a good stay, there were a number of issues that would have us question whether we would stay at a Renters Club property in the future.
1) While the listing states that the house sleeps 16, six of the beds are unacceptable, crammed into two tiny rooms in the windowless basement, down a set of stairs that I doubt meet Austin building codes. I also doubt that the rooms themselves are permitted under Austin building codes.
2) The kitchen is poorly equipped for groups of 16. One cutting board, no vegetable peeler, minimal cooking utensils, no cookie sheets, just to name a few. The wine cooler does not work.
3) Much of the furnishings are tired. The outdoor patio furniture should have been retired years ago. The table and chairs on the upper balcony are not outdoor furniture. Several of the mattresses were sagging. Much of the furniture scattered throughout looks like it came out of grandma's attic.
4) During our stay we contacted our concierge at Renter's Club to report that there were no kitchen towels and that the two rolls of paper towels made available to us had been used, and asked if there was a "stash" we could access. The report we got back -- that the company policy was two rolls per rental, and that we should use hand towels from the bathrooms in the kitchen -- was a joke. Seriously, two rolls of paper towels for 16 people for 5 days?
5) The trash was not emptied once during our stay, and was overflowing onto the ground by the time of our departure, providing delicious treats for the property's chipmunks. There was a can of trash (not ours) on the first floor balcony the entire time of our visit.
