Some friends and I were in town celebrating a birthday and when our other reservations fell through last minute, I started scouring airbnb for another place for all of us to crash for the night. I gave Lois a shout and she gladly accepted us (and even waived her recommended two-night minimum).

Upon arrival, all of us were in awe. The place is over-the-top colorful while still being warm and inviting and Lois and her feline friends are incredibly welcoming and accommodating. The house is tucked into it's quiet little neighborhood which means no traffic or excess noise yet it's still a quick jaunt over to SoCo or 6th street.

After a night out, this place was perfect to come back to. The futons on the ground level lay out to accommodate a couple of people each and, if you're brave enough to climb the ladder after a night out drinking (we weren't), the loft can sleep one or two as well. There was no shortage of pillows and blankets and the place stayed cool well into the morning.

This place was a wonderful crash pad for the bunch of us and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a truly "Austin" place to stay.
