We loved Lois' fun, comfortable place so much. She was a wonderful host, and this place..It was perfect! An easy to find location, handy reserved parking spot, key securely left for us...it couldn't have been more convenient upon arrival. The place was exactly as described. Adorable and colorful-but functional, above all else. Everything one could ever need, but couldn't possibly bring was available. (We walked SO MUCH I got some blisters and I even found some alcohol to use in my first aid. That's pretty random. Thank you, Lois. While there is never-ending remarkable food to sample in Austin, we did want to eat a couple of breakfasts in...the kitchen was fully stocked, and we even found a tiny little unopened cube of butter waiting (exactly what we had forgotten to buy at the amazing While Foods!) the bed was so comfortable, and we loved the functions of the ceiling fan on a couple of the really warm nights. The whole air/heat system was just right. We couldn't have been more comfortable. The stairs to the bedroom are a little steep if you have trouble with stairs. (Not dangerous or anything, just a note.) I saw it as an opportunity to burn off a few tacos calories! The closet upstairs is the most generous I've encountered. Room to hang clothes, iron, set up you suitcases...just ample. Loved that. This location!. It was great. We walked miles and miles, and while we had rented a car, getting anywhere was just more fun, by foot. The park paths we're teaming with joggers, bikers, and walkers like us. It was beautiful and fun to explore all these paths. The food carts that are blocks away are a-m-a-z-i-n-g! We especially loved Trudy's and sadly, kept missing the ice cream everyone raved about, but we did have cupcakes from the Picnic and they were great! We walked down town at night which is very pretty and there were street performers on the pedestrian bridge which was beautiful. We took several car trips and did some mild hiking and sight seeing...this location is easily convenient to all the major routes we took. We especially love driving thru neighborhoods to get to our destinations. We used a phone app to find public parking, which was easy and helpful. There is plenty of parking hidden away. We went to the University and parked easily in one such structure. We were able to park off-street without huge issues at Capitol building, downtown, S. Lamar, etc. SoCo district. We found the binder extremely helpful and left our contributions in the book as well! Loved that Lois (and guests) took such care in assembling this book. I'm now obsessed with queso...The secret to happiness, I think! And we loved Torchys the very best. Loved shopping the SoCo area..and Home Slice was delish. As good as New York pizza, maybe better. We drove to the Oasis on our last evening. It was such fun. The restaurant is built on a cliff and...
