Lois's peaceful haven was absolutely wonderful, I loved the mermaid atmosphere and the AC unit was an absolute life saver. The space was clean and well-supplied, I never wanted for anything. Looking forward to my next stay with her!

The key question is - as always - would you come back: yes. This place is prime for access to the Zilker - Barton Springs - Downtown areas. I was able to walk to Trek Bicycles on Lamar in 20 min to rent a bike. As for the accommodations, they are very colorful, charming, and quiet. You’re in a garden, so don’t be shocked if a water bug shows up - it’s part of the fun.

Funky and Fun

The host was very clear about what amenities were provided and the space available, and it fit our needs perfectly since we planned to be out and about for most meals. It is very close to a lot of Austin staples like Zilker and the Broken Spoke. The host has binders of recommendations which were helpful and also shared customized recommendations in person. If we return to Austin, we'd likely stay here again!

Great place to stay

Great place to stay. It was exactly as expected and comfortable. Very close to walk or Uber to anything you'd want to. Quiet neighborhood with great proximity to Barton Springs. Check in and check out process were super super easy and Lois was nice and let us leave our bags there after we had checked out. She also checked in with us and chatted with us when we crossed paths. Would definitely recommend this place for people to stay.
