Austin Vacay in Austin, Texas

“The location was walkable or within a short uber ride to most downtown/popular areas. The house has plenty of space for groups and the hosts were responsive. It would’ve been a 5 star review minus a few things. They will not let you check in until 4 pm or you will be charged $75 per hour if you want early check in, our group was made to wait for 20 minutes outside until the clock hit 4. I’ve never had this issue before and I’ve used Airbnbs for 9 years. (the last time i checked it wasn’t booked before our stay either) There is also hardly any privacy due the lack of the curtains, this felt unsafe with a group of women. Also, the place was clean but we had to kill multiple large cockroaches despite not leaving food out and using raid ourselves. Overall a good stay but I would recommend making some changes for the above complaints which have been reviewed on by multiple guests.”

“This property has a good location for proximity to the hike and bike trail and walkable to some restaurants and bars. The alley entrance can feel less safe at night, particularly as a female. It would be helpful, if post construction on the front house, if you could access the main street via a walkway. The neighborhood community overall is nice. We had some issues with people accessing the property unannounced and some challenges with support getting us timely responses. Overall it is an older house and has some nice character, but it is not well maintained. Doors are not sealed well, which leads to a lot of spiders and bugs entering the house regularly. The freezer was in poor shape and we had to de-ice it ourselves to make it fit our frozen items. We work from home, so the two desk setup was a nice perk and internet speed was great.”

“Thank you so much for hosting us during our stay! Everything was wonderful. The place was clean, cozy, peaceful, and very comfortable. We truly enjoyed our time and felt right at home. Thank you again for your hospitality and for making everything such a great experience for us. We would definitely love to stay again in the future and highly recommend your place to others!”
