Casa Lorelei was amazing and has been by far one of the best Air BnB experiences I’ve had to date!
During my stay, I used public transit to get around the city and the house was relatively close to everything any tourist would want access to. From restaurants to sites and attractions, and even the airport, it was nice to have a bus stop so close by for my transportation needs.
The residential neighborhood the house is located in was quiet and low key, which always made for a great night’s sleep. While I slept like a baby due to the bed being incredibly comfortable, I’m 5’6” and the bed suited me well, but anyone taller may have issues. It also fit 2 people comfortably, but a bit cozy. Just a call out for travelers.
I was also fortunate to have Lorelei accommodate my work from home needs with a super simple portable table, chair, and cushion which we kept in the bedroom to serve my office space needs. I also had the flexibility to work from the kitchen, while cooking, or the patio in her gorgeous backyard when I was in need of inspiration.
Lorelei herself was a great roommate / housemate! She clearly communicates, will work with you as much as possible to meet your needs, and is flexible to make you feel at home. During my stay, old guests would pop in to greet her and her rotation of friends were all as interesting as her life experience. We’d often chat in the morning or evening, watch a movie on my down days, or shoot the shit about things to do in the city. Lorelei has a rich history and relationship with Austin and can always make recommendations any tourist would appreciate.
For any other travelers looking to stay at Casa Lorelei — DON’T BE AN ASSHOLE. This home is southern hospitality at its finest and a gem in a city that’s rapidly changing.
I can’t wait to come back visit Lorelei again!
