I have only the utmost praise for Lola and her accommodations, and highly recommend you stay with her! his was my first Airbnb experience and it was absolutely lovely. Lola is incredibly welcoming and easily makes you feel comfortable in her home. She does allow for the stay to be whatever you would like it to be - she can be a part of it, or leave you be.

The room is exactly as it is represented in the picture...and more. The bed (brand new) is more comfortable than any hotel bed I've every slept in. The bedroom, bathroom and rest of the common areas are very clean, and Lola has thought of so many details to make your stay even better than you could imagine. Staying in her home is more like staying in a really nice bed and breakfast.

My favorite details: the comfort of the bed (SERIOUSLY); her breakfast spread has so many options; how she leaves a marked space in the fridge for you to leave food (such as if you have left overs from a meal); how she had neatly written information in the bedroom that anyone would need/like to know so it is easy for you to refer to without having to bother her (such as wifi password and recommendations around town); the SEVERAL Austin related magazines and books she leaves in the common areas for you to peruse; the private bathroom associated with this room; the baskets in the bedroom and bathroom that contain things you may have forgotten and need, such as an umbrella, shampoo, makeup remover or candy; and lastly Iggy, her dog. He is adorable, fun to play with, and quiet.

Overall, I had the best experience I could possibly have had while visiting Austin, and staying in Lola's home is one of the biggest reasons why. I cannot recommend her enough and know that I've come away from my vacation with a new friend.
