We booked this house to celebrate our daughters 21st Bday in Austin. The location to 6th and Rainey St was great. We used Ky with ecab to get to and from, he and his cab are awesome! $5 per person and way more fun than Uber!
Overall the house worked well for our party of five. The inside of the house was great, The house was very clean when we arrived, although we did find two dead cockroaches during our stay, and one ran across the living room one evening. The beds were comfortable, plenty of towels, although there were very few hangers and two of the bedrooms didn't have dressers. The large kitchen isn't very well equipped. Only 2 glasses larger than 8oz, a couple of wine glasses...if you are planning on preparing meals and eating them you might struggle to get it all served. Also, there were no sealable containers for left overs, we cut a watermelon and had to keep it in a pot with a lid in the fridge. It could be because of covid, but there were no extra supplies such as salt, pepper, spices like you normally find in vacation rental and the coffee filters were the wrong type for the coffee maker provided.
The outside of the house is a waste of time, there is no shade or grass, just dirt and weeds. The patio had some furniture on it but the furniture was filthy, Turnkey did offer to send someone out to clean it, but the fact that it was so uninviting we declined the offer. There is a four story office building being built on the lot behind the house...FYI, construction starts at 7am...during our stay they were using a pile driver...so no sleeping in after a late night out!
Would we stay here again? Maybe...if the kitchen were better equipped and the back yard improved to where you would want to go out in it...possibly.
I feel like I am being brutal with my review...because we had a great time at the house and it served our needs. I just feel people need to know what they are getting when they spend this kind of money on a vacation rental.
