Since I had never been to Austin before, I was not sure of a good location for our stay. This turned out to be perfect! Lois's place is a couple of blocks from miles of green belt trail. The back entrance to Barton Springs pool is just off this trail and a walk north brings you to kayak rentals, great food trucks and restaurants. Uber rides took us any distances we wanted to go when our feet wore out. It was inexpensive and efficient

The home is very comfortable and had everything we needed. The fun furniture and artwork AND the fish tank in the toilet tank were charming.

Lois called shortly after we arrived and met up with us the next day to make sure all was well. She offered any advice we might have needed on getting around or places to go.

I recommend this rental.
