I really enjoyed staying at Lois' place during our stay in Austin. Check in was super flexible, my friends and I biked to the house and took a long rest before heading out again. The space is very groovy and is perfect if you're with a group who appreciates that style. Note that the space is not as large as it may seem on the pictures at first. As far as beds go, the futons are only moderately comfortable though the massive amounts of pillows definitely help.
Lois herself is sincerely great host. I had a pretty painful accident while biking and she made a big effort to help find antiseptic and healing products!
