This February 2025, a group of nearly a dozen friends and I rented Thurgood for a weekend in Austin to attend charity events. We loved the house’s location—just a 10-minute drive to Rainey Street, 6th Street, and other downtown spots we frequented. The spacious layout, pool, and hot tub initially drew us in, and we appreciated the early check-in.However, cleanliness was a concern. The house needed a deep clean—dust-covered vents, dirty mirrors, and general upkeep issues were noticeable. We also encountered significant problems with the bathrooms and hot water. The entire house lacked water pressure in all showers & sinks.The master shower was lukewarm, while the hall bath’s jetted tub didn’t work and struggled to hold water. The main floor bathroom had a persistent mildew/sewage smell, and water temperatures fluctuated unpredictably. The basement shower had no hot water at all. Despite reaching out to management, issues remained unresolved.The hot tub was inconsistent, heating only when it decided to work, and the pool—while we didn’t opt to heat it—was also dirty. Additional concerns included a poorly locking front door, a broken piano, and general wear and tear throughout the house.This property has incredible potential, but it desperately needs better maintenance to be the standout rental it should be. While we enjoyed the space for gathering and meals, those expecting top-tier amenities may be disappointed.
