다운타운 로프트 바이 식스스 스트리트 프라임 Sxsw!

The location was great, although it could be loud int he evenings and early morning with pedestrians and construction across the road. The place is very dark, and the curtains are set up so they do not open to let in the natural light.

Space is nice. Location is great. My review, however, is not great. Upon arrival, a homeless man showed me where to find unit, asking me for money as I tried to enter. The metal gate opened as instructed. The keypad on the front door was not working (dead battery?). I called management company, who put me on hold and transferred me a couple of times, before someone instructed me to walk back around the building to find a back-up key inside of a locked building. This was all done in the pitch dark, since the exterior light to the unit was burnt out and not a single light was on in the unit. (and, yes, the homeless gentleman was with me this whole time, despite my plea for him to leave). I entered the unit..... I found a number of other lights burnt out. The bedside table looks to have been broken earlier, so stands as a base with no top. The "leather" on the couch is peeling off. The curtains are filthy. The toilet was running nonstop, which required me to fix the handle and flapper to the best of my ability with no tools. Oh, and then the TV and internet did not work. I found a spaghetti bowl of cords stuffed behind the TV cart, all completely unplugged. I sorted and replugged, getting the wifi to work, but no TV/cable. I reported all to the management company that evening. I gave them permission to enter the unit to fix. They never came; I was here for 4 nights. So disappointing. Great potential, but definitely needs some attention and local support.

This is a great location in downtown Austin, but though it says it sleeps four, it really means a couple and two children. I was there with two girlfriends. Having a kitchen well stocked with utensils and appliances was great for saving money on meals out. We stayed 5 nights. The pull-out beds were not comfortable but probably would be fine for kids. When we arrived we had to call to get sheets for the pull-out beds; fortunately they arrived with those that same day. We also asked for extra pillows, but we never got those. The toilet handle was broken, the A/C wasn't working, and some light bulbs were out. Maintenance came the 2nd day but couldn't fix the A/C which remained out for our entire stay. Our saving grace was that the weather wasn't super hot and got cool at night, but the space did get stuffy. There was an assortment of comforters and blankets; one of which I rolled up into one of the many pillow cases in the closet to make another pillow. It's on the ground floor and you can hear folks talking on the street as they pass by. Noise travels pretty well through the open space. We were able to have conversations while one was on the couch, another in the shower, and another on the bed. Overall, we made do.

Never got in the unit because the keypad didn't work. Worked on it for close to 90 minutes as I say outside in the 95 degree Austin heat. Customer Service, though responsive, couldn't help. When I asked for a refund, simply asked me to reach out to Expedia. Unsatisfactory after the 90 minutes of struggle.

Quite a large flat actually and right in the middle of downtown Austin.
