overall a great stay. the management company was quick to respond to a few issues that we encountered upon arrival, which they attributed to not having enough time to turnover the home from a prior renter who had been there for a month… which i’m not sure is a good excuse for leaving loose ends open, given that there was no rent adjustment for our stay (like i don’t really care what happened before we arrived, it’s your job to ensure quality service for every guest, especially at these rates).
that said, it’s a solid property, well designed and well contracted with good central location to the best of what austin offers. we really enjoyed the pool with our little one (9 months old).
traffic on enfield is consistently heavy, and you can definitely hear it in the house and in the pool area, but the tarrytown neighborhood one street behind it is very quiet and very pleasant. it’s a 20 minute walk down to the lake austin waterfront with mozart’s coffee and the hula hut, two great choices for waterfront coffee and local tex mex.
we enjoyed our stay, were pleased with the hosts responsiveness, but were disappointed that we had to reach out to solve a few issues left unattended before our arrival in the first place. these issues required multiple visits from the management company during our stay, and there was one unannounced pool service visit, which we would have appreciated a heads up.
not the most private home, but could easily be solved by adding window treatments or frosted vinyl on the generous windows by the front door… and main bathroom needs more hooks to hang towels.
these are details that we would expect better for this price, but otherwise a great stay.
