We always stay at cool, funky and unique places whenever we travel. It's hard to find but I was once again successful. My daughter and I found this place and surprised my husband with it. For the first few hours your amazed and cant stop looking. Lois is very kind and it's hard to talk to her when your senses are in overload while admiring her unique taste and her artwork. We didn't want to leave but had to because it was booked. We stayed in Austin for 2 more nights and kept comparing and misses the art zen pad (that's what we called it). We cant wait to go back! We went to 3 of Lois's food recommendations and loved all of them especially Magnolia's. We even went back 2 x to Magnolia's. The Fun, Funky place is extremely relaxing and quiet! Close to everything! We even left our 3 locked bikes on our car out front and they were perfect in the morning, no one touched them. A few days later we went to Schlitterbahn and while swimming someone had messed with one of our lights on our bikes but not at Lois's Zen Pad. Great safe neighborhood.
