Meeting and staying at Rupesh and his wife's (I cant remember her name!) condo was a fantastic experience. They are such wonderful people all around– extremely welcoming, accommodating, caring and very responsive. The little things like providing Nespresso pods, snacks and bottled water, checking in to make sure I had everything I needed the first morning of my stay, making sure I was doing alright when the city of Austin lost power, and going above and beyond to contact friends in the same building so that I could extend my stay are all what, to me, make the hosts and stay exceptional. This was a brand new building so the condo was immaculate. There was still some construction going on, but Rupesh was very upfront about this before booking and the bit of noise did not bother me in the least. The building staff were all wonderful and extremely helpful (shoutout to Zach who you will immediately fall in love with) and the condo comes with (mandatory) valet parking which is extra nice when you have lots of luggage or groceries. As far the apartment itself, aside from the little bit of construction noise and low hum of cars it very quite, gets plenty of natural light throughout much of the day and is nice and spacious. Because this is an ADA apartment, the layout maybe slightly different for some, with an open shower and enormous (beautiful) bathroom. The kitchen appliances are top-notch and the TV is equipped with all the smart features and streaming options you could possibly need. There are just a couple of small things to note but these were definitely not impactful compared to overall experience. The overall storage/closet space might be somewhat minimal for an extended stay (for example not a great deal of kitchen space for non-perishables and no coat closet) but is definitely plentiful for a short stay. The balcony also overlooks the highway so its not the most beautiful of views but it is on the 11th floor and its still always great to have a balcony with fresh air so its hard to ever complain about that. There is also great outdoor space outside of the gym on the 10th floor and on the rooftop surrounding the pool, so that is definitely a plus.
Overall this will be a great stay with great hosts and in a great building! Cant wait to return!
