Summary: Convenient location to downtown Austin. Convenient parking close to unit & location was nearby to a large grocery store. Our overall experience was diminished when the host called the police the third night of our stay because he thought we were trespassing. Police had guns drawn as we opened the door which made us very uneasy for the rest of our stay in this city location. Owner never checked our reservation or the code that he had provided to us in his instructions for accessing this unit prior to calling 911. We spoke by phone to clarify our reservation. We were sent a box of popcorn kernels with toppings for an apology. We have used VRBO many times and have never experienced anything like this unfortunate mishap. The dishwasher did not work & the smoke detector outside one of the bedrooms were missing. (We are telling the owner this post-stay) Renter beware at this unit.
