The house was endearing, albeit a bit dated, and parking and laundry were smooth. During a winter stay with cooler weather, the heat did not work as well in rooms other than the middle bedroom.
That said, the main issue at the home related to the host identifying an issue to us with the shower just hours after we checked in on day 1, but then never fixing it for the 7 nights of our stay. I understand issues come up, but timely fixes or at least efforts to would have meant a lot with only one bathroom in the home. We showered standing in inches our own dirty water every day and had to separate rinse feet in the sink. Even though we communicated this was bothersome and asked several times for a fix, after day 3 of the trip the host never replied with any additional effort to coordinate a repair.
Once after I reached out after checkout to ask for a 1/7 night refund, she replied back with an offer for 25 percent less that.
East Austin neighborhood is cute with plenty of restaurants and walks riverside and in parks. Definitely recommend staying in the neighborhood to get to know a different side of Austin.
