We were very disappointed by this accommodation. We were a group of 9 women in our 40's-50's traveling to celebrate birthdays for 3 nights in Austin. We were notified by the owner on the day of our arrival that the large glass panel adjacent to the lock on the front door was broken from previous guests and had to be boarded up, but that he believed it to be "safe". We, however, did not feel that it was safe and drew possible unwanted attention to the property. Once inside, the air wreaked of heavy cigarette smoke enough to bother several of us within minutes of arriving and could not have been addressed with an on-the-spot cleaning. Finally, the house had a mildewy smell and there appeared to be mold on one of several mattresses that sat directly on the floor. While Abe's communication was responsive prior to our arrival, it slowed considerably once we realized that we could not stay in his house given the condition it was in.
