So, some of this is definitely my bad. I read the description and thought the place looked cute, but I didn't realize you had to actually click on the pictures for more details, or rather captions for each photo. So, I didn't realize the only sleeping options were futon mattress on the floor. Which meant my back and hips were trashed this morning. The place is very cute and quirky, but if you're over 40 and have issues with your back/hips you may want to look at other options. The shower is very small and the hot tub isn't available, but the vibe is very fun, and my boyfriend wanted me to mention that the lava lamp is cool. The location was great, the neighborhood was quite, and the host was very prompt with responding.
Great view. Great host. A good experience during a dark time. Helped me level out. The most eclectic place I've stayed. Lois is a terrific person and host. Thanks.
Such a neat, funky place close to everything we wanted to do. Description was accurate, check in and out was easy; neighborhood was quiet and very safe. We had a great stay.
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!
Hubby and I made a last minute trip and found this gem! Love the aethetic of decor and a hostess so willing to accommodate. It was just what we needed to unwind. Location was perfect for all the good eats and Austin life! We will be back.
This is the perfect place if you are looking for a fun and quiet spot right in the heart of Austin. Lois is an amazing host with great information about the area. 10/10 couldn't be happier.
