Thank you Faithe for your review; look forward to hosting you again when you are back to Austin!

Hey Linda, thanks again for staying at my house. I appreciate you choosing my house and like yourself I wish that the weather was better so you could enjoy the pool. Good news is that Austin is just getting warmer and I hope you guys can come back later in the summer to enjoy the pool this time. It was a pleasure to be your host and you are welcome back anytime.

Thanks Erika for staying at my house. I am glad everything worked for you and your family. You are welcome back anytime!

Thanks Marty, please come back soon.

Thanks Merri for your review. I would have appreciated a bit of more attention to house rules. There were marks from a suitcase or carry on on the master bedroom desk which are permanent scratches. Also, your review does not reflect continuous communication I had with you when you repeated everything was great. I believe for the price paid and amenities offered, it is not easy to find a competing property in the neighborhood and beyond. Thanks for staying at my house anyways. My house is in southwest Austin which is considered a better neighborhood in general compared to south Austin. Just as a clarification.

Hi Janna, thank you for your kind words. I am happy the house worked for you for your trip to Austin. You and your friends were great guests and I hope you consider my house again when you come back to Austin.

Thank you Anne for your review of my house. Look forward to hosting you when you are back to Austin.

Thank you for your review. There are black out shades in all the 3 bedrooms but I understand that the some guests including yourself may prefer curtain in the living room as well. As far as I know the house never had curtain for the windows in the living room/dining room. I am glad you enjoyed your stay and your trip to Austin TX.

Kenneth, your first question was about smoking and vaping and although you said you would respect the house rules, the morning after I received a message from you complaining about windows and outside camera!!!! The images clearly show all the spaces in the house. The main window in living room is covered by a large fig tree and the rest are towards the backyard where there is a privacy fence! Complaining about the outdoor camera, not being able to smoke and no privacy doesn’t not sound good for any hosts and it is a sign of trouble and liability. I do not recommend you to any hosts.

Thanks Mark for your review. you are welcome back anytime.

Thank you Teal for your kind words. I appreciate you booking my place while you had options in Austin. I try to make sure I welcome my guests as best as I can and make them feel at home. Looking forward to seeing you soon hopefully. *For other hosts: Fully recommend Teal to stay at your place. He is a great guy and will respect your house rules. I had no concerns to leave the house for couple of days while he was there :).

John, you stated everything was great right after your check in so I am confused how your opinion changed after 10 days of stay. There is no daily cleaning in VRBO properties so maybe you are more used to staying in hotels that you receive daily cleaning. You mentioned windows are dirty which is not true. They are older and are fogged due to humidity so there is no way to clean inside the space between the glasses. You rented a 3 bedroom 2 full bath house in a nice neighborhood for tire price of an average hotel room without any of the amenities the house offers so I think your expectations should be rechecked. Also, I would have appreciated it if you had let me know if you wanted to have extra guests in the house. Your reservation was for 2 people. Unfortunately I will not be accepting you in my house again and I will not recommend you to any other hosts.
