Liked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in, location
Wouldn’t recommend
Overall, would not recommend this property.
Pros: unit is clean and as pictured.
Cons:
(1) the few days before the trip I was hit with a bunch of paperwork. I had to download multiple forms; get signatures from friends, had to go to a store to print parking passes, etc. I feel like this could’ve been handled better, for example having parking passes printed and available at the rental unit. It felt like a lot of unnecessary work.
(2) trouble checking in, check in code didn’t work and owner wasn’t immediately responsive
(3) the host expects you to wash, dry, and fold all towels before leaving. That means you need to shower at least 2 hours before checking out and start the chores. I understand putting it in the washer and starting it, but drying and folding seems excessive.
(4) no amenities whatsoever in the unit. For example you are given what they call “starter” toilet paper (1 roll per bathroom) and are expected to go to the store for any additional TP you require. No body wash, no oil or butter for cooking, etc. Was a bit frustrating.
(5) you have to drive ten minutes on windy roads just to get to the unit once you enter the neighborhood. The town it’s close to is very small, and all the nicer lake Travis restaurants are on the other side of the lake.
(6) this neighborhood is a ghost town. There’s a restaurant but when you look online there’s differing hours and it’s rarely open. We went to the marina to get a snack, parked, took a tram to the bottom, saw the “open” sign lit up, walked all the way there and it was locked and no one was inside. Upon returning the tram was no longer working.
Overall, was fine but won’t be coming back.
