Had a too short, but great time in Austin. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect location for what I wanted to do...Walk, run and just be outside for as long as I could stay on my feet. I got in way later than planned met Lois who is very warm and welcoming. Took off toward Zilker Park...very close, walked to South Congress to explore the eclectic shops. Don't miss Ten Thousand Villages. Walked back towards downtown area and headed to 6th street (not the bar area, but the shopping area...actually didn't know it existed). Had a great experience at the Dogtooth, headed to Whole Foods and then walked on home.... left at 5:40 home at 10:20...Felt safe. Got home and chilled out in the very comfortable and eclectic loft (and I mean eclectic in the best way!) had a great night sleep and headed back out the next morning for a run. As a single female, this is a great starting point for exploring Austin. Great neighborhood (next time, I am planning to bike through the neighborhood as it has very cool houses). Lois is a true artist and you will totally enjoy all of the details throughout the entire space~
