Do not rent this property from this owner.Our experience with this host was extremely disappointing from the very beginning. We were looking for a house in the Austin area and accidentally booked two properties (my wife and I were looking at the same time). Within 20 minutes of making this reservation, we realized our mistake and immediately contacted the host to explain the situation and request a cancellation. Despite the fact that we notified him almost immediately, he refused to provide any refund, simply stating that the cancellation was outside his policy.We decided to make the best of the situation and split our time between the two properties. Unfortunately, the condition of this house gave us even more reason to regret the booking.The property had several significant issues:There was no smoke detector on the main floor, which we found extremely concerning from a basic safety standpoint.The grass was severely overgrown—approximately 6–8 inches high in some areas.There was broken outdoor furniture on the property.Throughout the process, the host was unresponsive and difficult to deal with. What should have been a straightforward situation turned into a frustrating experience.Based on our experience, I would strongly recommend against renting this property. The lack of responsiveness, poor property maintenance, and serious safety concerns made this a stay we would not repeat. Rent elsewhere.
