I came to Austin to spend Christmas with my family and needed a place to stay. The colorful touches in Lorelei's home were lovely and inviting. Lorelei is warm and friendly and provided sweet hospitality. Before my arrival, she asked me how I take my coffee/tea. She was there to greet me and showed me where I would be staying. Being that it was Christmas, she had friends and food around, and she graciously shared food with me. I enjoyed the étouffée, panettone, fudge, tea she shared and also enjoyed the conversations I had with Lorelei and her friends. I felt very much welcomed even by her two precious kitties!
The room I stayed in had a comfortable bed and great amenities. I am glad there was a mini fridge in the room to keep some items I had on me that needed refrigeration. She has plenty of towels/linens/extras. It was cold a couple of the nights I was in Austin and the bed had a nice soft blanket that kept me deliciously warm and cozy. There was plenty of storage space in the dresser and closet. The bathroom was clean, and I loved the beautiful sink in it. She also had extra stuff in a drawer in case you forgot something. I took a peak at her garden/backyard area, and it is delightful with plenty of seating. I didn't get to enjoy the garden because I was with family during the vast majority of my stay. If you like to have tea/coffee and read a book outdoors, you will love this!
Parking is available and Lorelei's house is in an excellent location. Easy access to everything. I didn't eat anywhere around here because there was food with my family, but there is a place near there with breakfast tacos that Lorelei says are good. I would definitely stay in Case Lorelei again. It definitely has that Austin vibe!
