Upon arrival, the host and her daughter were still cleaning the home after 4pm which was check in time. They were not wearing masks and we had to stand a short time outside while it was raining. The home had everything we needed except towels and wash clothes were in short supply. Upon leaving the host put in a claim for damage because she couldn't get make up out of a comforter or juice from hand towels and towel had a stain. She wanted $20 per comforter x 3 to launder, and to buy her new towels which she admitted were two years old. She also charged $10 to hand wash a cup and plate that didn't come clean in dishwasher. She wanted charge $40 to vacuum a few pieces of confetti from the floor. Airbnb wrote me after she put in her claims and said that what she was asking for was not in the agreement and they would not be seeking payment from me. This was unfortunate after I ignored the cobwebs in the corners and blinds, moldy looking hot tub, and crumbs and a sock in between the sofa cushions. This has the potential to be a very nice rental just needs a professional cleaning and better laundering practices from the host.
It is about half an hour from downtown Austin and is in a quiet neighborhood. I can also say the host is very responsive to messaging.
