There were a couple of bumps in the road when I stayed at Noah's place, but I would recommend that folks stay here when they come to Austin, as I believe he'll iron our these kinks as he hosts more guests.
First, check-in was easy. When I arrived, though, the bed was not made and the bathroom was dirty. There were towels and linens on the floor, hair was in the tub, and there were dishes in the sink. I figured I would tell Noah at the end of the trip and made the bed with spare linens that I found in the closet. Still, I wasn't happy that I got in late and had to clean up the space.
On the second morning of my stay, I received a note from Noah's partner, Jamie, thanking me for staying and reminding me of checkout procedures. I had two more nights reserved, so I messaged her back to let her know that I wasn't checking out that day, and to tell her that the loft was not clean when I arrived. She apologized and noted she got the calendar messed up, and said she would check with the cleaners to figure out why the apartment wasn't ready when I arrived. Later that day Noah texted me to apologize and to promise that they would refund the cleaning fee. I appreciate that they were both responsive, but ideally, this shouldn't have happened. I hope that they're able to iron out these issues as they continue to host.
Just a note - the loft is lovely and the location is very central, but some may not be comfortable walking nearby, especially at night. The loft is a block from the I-35 overpass, and there are a lot of homeless people who hang out and sleep under the overpass. So, the loft is very central and walkable, but may not be comfortable for some.
