Hermosa 5 rm. Hardwood Austin Home!

While Tony is a very amenable host, the property isn't well maintained & the description isn't accurate. It's listed as 2 baths. However, 1 is outside the house. That's not mentioned. It was chilly & rainy & you had to get wet to get to the outside bath the motion detector light was out where needed. Had to take cell phone to see. Put my toiletries on back of tank - tank was covered in dust. Shower curtain is torn & partially off rod.Inside Bath, tub is moldy & there was a ring in the toilet, not masked by the blue Tidy Bowl stuff. Dust is everywhere - on glasses & bottles in kitchen, on tea caddy box, furniture. Major furniture pieces were dusted but plenty w/ heavy dust. Books all over made place smell like a used bookstore. The place is so full of personal stuff that there's little room for guests things. Febreze spray bottles in every room - not a good sign. The place is quirky & would be cool if it was clean & not packed w/ stuff. If you like Meow Wolf, you might like this place. I love Meow Wolf, but the dust & clutter & poor condition are a turnoff. The reviews were mainly 10/10. I'm gonna be honest to save guests from our experience.Beds - some comfortable, some not. Had to go thru 4 coffee mugs to find 1 w/out stains or caked food. There was a dirty bath towel & cleaning items hanging right outside our bedroom door. I moved the towel a hall closet - gross! I could go on but you get the picture. Back garden sold me but it was too cold & rainy to use.

Very nice personable host. Home was full of great artwork by the host. Definitely part of the Austin experience we were looking for.

Host Tony was welcoming and responsive. The garden is lovely and the host’s artwork throughout the house is unique and beautiful.

Tony is a talented artist and great host

It was a great stay and we really appreciated how communicative the host was. The home was beautiful and the location was great. The haunted house and the Japanese garden were such fun bonuses.
