Everything was as expected except the cleanliness. Floors not vacuumed and hairs, guessing animal were all over sheets. Fortunately, washer and dryer in house so we were able to clean them. Also, linens were heavily perfumed perhaps to cover that they were not washed.
The extra beds were in the living room. One is a Murphy bed and we had no instructions how to pull out. The other is a leather couch, with no instructions. There is all windows in the living area so if someone were to sleep there they would have light and a view of the cemetery. The two bedrooms were perfect for couples.
Unfortunately BlackOpal management did not provide a good experience for us. For the price we paid, we expected far more.
The property was still being painted, and there was very loud hammering and construction in the hallways right outside our unit on Friday. There is also lots of road noise that made us keep the patio doors closed most of our time there.
The fire pit was not what you would expect as it was more of a fire trough and it's location on the patio made it awkward to use.
There is a lovely view of the skyline and the roof deck was nice. There's also a large cemetery next to the unit, which we didn't mind at all but some people may dislike. There are some decent dining options within a 20 minute walk and it's only a short drive to even better spots on Manor road or on the east side.
Although it appeared to be a newer building, I cannot call it luxurious given the condition of the building, the condition of the unit and the very poor communication we received from the host.
The condo was as described and had everything we needed for our stay. Good location for walking to UT. We completed verification the day before we arrived and had no issues with check-in.
Well appointed and furnished property. Plenty of space and very comfortable. Outdoor balconies are spacious. Neighbors were a bit loud. Had a little trouble with getting check in link to work, then realized it seems you must be at the property for check in to work. Location is good- close to university and east Austin restaurants/bars. Was helpful to have a car to explore other areas.
We were amazed at the space that we were given. Had a good time with the pool table and Foosball table. This was a fantastic experience to send off a buddy getting married.
I booked penthouse for a bachelor trip. Nice modern property that was perfect setting for bachelor trip until my truck window was smashed in and burglarized. I thought my vehicle was safe, but anyone can walk into parking garage. Homes right next to parking garage are run down and covered in graffiti. Property owner wasn't much help other than just saying "sorry." No cameras in parking garage. I would not recommend property for safety reasons.
Great place with a lot of space close to downtown Austin, itâs a beautiful new penthouse and very easy check in/out process and very communicative responded quick with any questions. Iâll be back for sure
This property is very modern and extremely nice. Beautiful views of the State Capital at night especially. Great location. We enjoyed and I would stay there again.
