Lois really knows how to create a home away from home. Her second floor with sitting room, bedrooms (great bed!)and bath provided a perfect 'space of your own.' Lois is the perfect host - available if needed, but not intrusive. I would actually have loved to see her more if our schedules had meshed better, since we had many interests in common.
I was in Austin to visit family and this location was literally around the corner and down the street from my 91 year-old aunt, making it easy to visit. It's also an easy drive into the center of the city or other interesting neighborhoods. I spent one morning at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center (beautiful!) and that, too, was an easy and direct trip from Lois's house. The neighborhood is quiet and neighbors friendly. Loved meeting Zoe, Lois's cat, who is not only gorgeous, but a fun and friendly host. I'll stay with Lois again whenever I head back to Austin.
