We had a great stay at Lois' place. It's the perfect, funky Austin pad! The sleeping area is in a separate building so it's easy to come and go without feeling intrusive. The backyard is a real oasis. When I arrived, I sat outside and read, listening to the birds and wind chimes and it was so relaxing after a long day of traveling. Finding local beer in the fridge made it even better! The artwork and colorful furnishings were a delight. The area was great for us as we mainly explored the park on bikes and did the Congress St bridge (no bats this time, aas) and the SoCo area. We look forward to going back someday!
