I was told there was a hot tub , it didn’t work , I was told it would get fixed, no efforts were made, I was told the pool could be heated , I approved a $500 charge and then I was told it could not be heated . It’s clearly a corporate rental and details were neglected , sharp object , and broken equipment left on the ground around the poo , that dangerous for pool guests, I fly. Think there was consistency in the person who was responding to me. I made a plan to entertain business associates and was quite embarrassed. I deserve a refund . They can keep $1k to cover their costs but this was either bait and switch or corporate neglect . I thought it was a great house , if the service did what it said it would do I would be happy . It did not. I have already spoken to American Express about this, they will be in touch" (4/5) - **Anonymous**: "House was even better than the description said. It was a perfect layout for our families. We had a family of 4 and one of 5. The location was amazing as well. We had the best time and would absolutely come back next time we are in Austin."
