Beautiful house, great location, with a few flaws.
This was our first stay in Austin. We had a few issues finding the location due to the street labeling, but we eventually found it based on the listing pictures. The drive way entrance is dirt, so prepare to get a little mud on your vehicle if you decide to come during the rain like we did.
We were approved for early check-in, but the code that was provided by the property manager did not work. We called in to the owner to get the correct code. It took us about 15 minutes after arriving to get in to the house. Not a big deal, but the communication seemed to be lacking between the property manager and owner.
Aside from that, the patio was amazing and very open. Entering the house, you'll see this beautiful open floorplan with a nicely renovated kitchen, dining area, and living area. All the appliances were brand new (with stickers on them still!). The bedrooms and bathrooms were gorgeously updated as well. All the renovations were well done.
During our stay, we did experience some major issues that we communicated frequently with the owner on. We did have a visit from local police due to a neighbor calling in about "suspicious activity" at the house. We determined it was a misunderstanding but it certainly caught us off guard on our first day there. We were never able to use the dryer because of a wiring issue in the house. So, the washer/dryer was unavailable for the entire length of our stay. We also had no hot water on the guest bedrooms side of the house for the few two nights, which was ultimately determined to have been caused by the recent winter storm in Texas. The owner was able to get a plumber out to resolve it during our stay.
It was unfortunate that we were unable to use the washer/dryer during our weekend stay and the plumbing issues caused some inconvenience. However, overall, this house is beautiful and I was assured by the owner that all of these issues will not be a problem for future renters.
