Stayed at this property between dates 8/7/2026-8/9/2026. First impression was that this place had been something else beforehand, maybe a cafe or whatnot. Floor was very uneven, and visible cracks in the wall to show for bad foundation. The parking is right in front of the property, which is convenient till you want to leave and realize you have to back out directly onto 7th street( a very busy street in east Austin). My stay was fine till the last night. I took my dogs for a 10 minute walk and when I returned found an intruder in the home. This person would not leave the property, saying it was a “safe house” and that he knew the owners. Called the police to have him removed. The police asked if there was anyone else inside but the intruder was invasive with his response, prompting the police, with guns drawn, to enter property to clear it for me to re-enter. After clearing the property, needless to say I was not staying there another night. I waited 48 hours to add this review hoping to hear from the owners, who I have attempted to contact through multiple forms of communication ( phone call, text, and VRBO format). I have NOT received any reply. I do not wish to harm anyone’s ability to monetize their property, but I could not with good conscience not report this. STAY AT YOUR OWN RISK
