My husband, 18-month old, and dog stayed at Dominic’s place for almost three weeks and had a very comfortable stay! Dominic is a kind host who was very responsive to our questions and needs throughout. I’d recommend this seat, but with a few caveats:
Pros: Dominic is a Class A host - very considerate, communicative and responded quickly whenever we had questions. The house is very conveniently located and has easy access to the main roads and highways that will get you anywhere in Austin. There are TVs with all the main steaming apps in every room, the beds are surprisingly comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped, and the master bath is luxurious (we renovated our shower based on the shower in this Airbnb). It’s also so nice that this place is pet friendly and has nice outdoor space.
Cons: the house has been updated but the quality of upgrades is iffy in spots - deck feels a little shaky, flooring is a little skewed in the laundry room, there are still several cracks in the walls. The neighborhood is a “transitioning” or mixed demographic area of Austin - which frankly is kinda refreshing but also means we had sirens / EMS vehicles show up on the block to a neighbors house more than once during our stay. And the fact that the house is pet friendly is awesome but it does mean it smells a little like a kennel.
Despite these cons, we had a comfortable stay and really appreciated Dominic’s kindness and generosity as a host. We’ve stayed in “nicer” Airbnbs with terrible hosts and would rather stay at Dominic’s place any day, but want to be transparent with any future guests about what they’d be signing up for!
