Great Austin Location
Great location (2 short blocks to S Congress). Excellent upfront info about everything; was a bit surprised about the before check-in information ask, but once there it seemed really about internet access. Modern but cozy; great showers in both bathrooms! Definitely would recommend a stay here.

Great location - corporate vibe
The place itself was perfect for us; two adult couples. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were super clean, and there were a couple of places to hang out in between trips out and about. I knocked it down a couple of stars due to an email we received after we booked claiming we owed more money to "cover credit card fees". It may have been a legit mistake, but it felt pretty phishy to me. We didn't pay and never heard another thing about it but my guess is many people will just approve the "missing fee" on good faith. Also, we asked to leave our bags on check-out day for an hour or two based on flight times and were denied. No big deal but not very accommodating.

Comfortable stay in Austin
Had a great stay. The host was very responsive to all communication and accommodated our needs. Had some trouble checking in (our code wasn't working), but it was easy to get on the phone and get it sorted out in a reasonable amount of time.
