10/10 Exceptional
This place was just PERFECT for what I was looking for in Austin. So, so good. I stayed here for just one night while I was traveling on business for an event nearby, and man, I wish I stayed for a few more days!
To start, the price. You just don't see prices like this much in Austin. Incredibly reasonable. The staff is extremely nice if you get a chance to see them (granted, they aren't always at the front desk, but the lady that works there is funny and great with customers).
The rooms are clean, small but comfortable. The view is pretty solid as well. You get a kitchen, a reasonable (but again, somewhat small) bathroom, nice bed, and just all that you'd really need in a studio. Obviously it's not a mansion, but for the price, it's more than worth it! You also get a nice mini fridge (I was super happy about that)! Even a TV.
Theres also some seating areas outside your room, shared spaces for work and activities, and an awesome balcony with views of downtown on the 6th floor. Check in is very simple; it's tech-enabled and I had almost no issues with it.
A small caveat -- although I truly enjoyed my time here, I'm not a fan of the way Kasa does identity verification. They use a third party that is notoriously questionable with data storage and privacy. If they worked with someone else, I'd stay again with no hesitation. But if you are a privacy buff, do keep this in mind. But otherwise, a fantastic choice for an excellent price.
