I gave this home a 2 star review. The 2 stars are earned because the host was kind and on-time with communications. However, the home was dirty and not at all safe. Below are what we observed during our stay.
- There was an awful smell throughout the house. I had to purchase an air freshener to clip to the AC (which was really loud) and spray the home down.
- The home was run down and dirty over all (the cabinets were falling apart and the home looked dilapidated)
- The bathroom was dirty (the bathtub was dirty and the mat inside is turning brown)
- The towels that were left for our use were WET :(
- Not sure if there were animals in the home previously, but my friend's allergies started acting up and he is only allergic to animal hairs
- The door did not close properly. There was a light storm overnight and we woke up to the door OPEN even though we made sure it was closed when we went to bed. It was alarming and made us feel unsafe.
- We were watching a movie in the evening and halfway through the night, the wifi just completely shut off (not as big a deal, just an inconvenience)
- We did not find any extra blankets - the ones provided were tiny and thin. It was a bit cold at night due to the way the AC worked.
- The pictures of the home did not show how the interior really was - there were cheaper prices in other areas of Austin for cleaner, safer stays
