Let me start by saying that I travel A LOT for work and stay somewhere different each time unless I love a place. I almost always stay at VRBO properties whether in this country or abroad.
Here's the lowdown:
The initial communication was a bit odd since I thought I was communicating with someone named Jeanette but it turned out to be someone named Satish...slight red flag with no explanation. Then I was told that they couldn't give me any information regarding how to check in, etc until the day before I was going to check in. Also odd and made me wonder if they use the same entry code for every tenant or don't have it set up to only allow one code at a time...another small red flag.
Upon arriving and entering the unit, which is around the side of the building btw, I unpacked and was going to start my work early but the internet didn't work. This eventually required me to climb on an unstable high top bar stool to get up above the TV and reset the router. A quick note about the little dresser/bench thing where the guest book sits, the inside of the drawers are very dirty, so I didn't use those & lived out of my suitcase during my visit. The freezer also had someone's leftover ice cream in it. Makes one wonder about how thoroughly the flat is regularly cleaned.
Fast forward a couple of hours to bedtime...the folks upstairs wear boots in their place and walk VERY heavy. Additionally, there are young children and you will hear them arguing and fighting, screaming, etc. That being said, this isn't a unit I would recommend for a business traveler or anyone wanting consistent quiet to work or decompress. If you're usually gone until late at night or in Austin for a festival or something, maybe you won't be in the flat when the kids are still awake & it won't be an issue. The wall over by the window has some sort of rattle that starts up around bed time. I'm not sure if it's another unit's A/C or what, but it is REALLY annoying. Owner notified. By now, I'm definitely getting the feeling that whomever owns this unit NEVER stays in it or they would recognize these things. Let's see, a sign hanging in the kitchen fell off over the sink and almost hit me in the head due to the upstairs stomping. Response from "owner"? was "Ok, thanks"...um, ok.
On a scale of 1 to 10, it would be a 6 in my book.
