Location is PERFECT

My husband and I stayed for 6 nights and loved the location, cleanliness, and relaxed feel of the home. We were only a couple miles away from downtown/6th street. And within walking distance of Barton Springs pool and a lot of hip restaurants. We would definitely recommend this place to other travelers. The only down side is that we drive an electric vehicle and there wasn’t a whole lot of options for charging at the house or near by.

Home away from home!

We absolutely loved staying at Lois’ place! The location was perfect to get to all the fun Austin spots. We are a family of four, with a 12 year old and a 9 year old-we are able to share beds still so the two beds were just right! The kitchen was well stocked, there were plenty of towels in the bathrooms, and the space was very comfortable. Big time bonus for it just being really rad with lots of art and of course a fish toilet! Wish we could have stayed longer!

Fun, quirky apartment in Zilker

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this funky apartment near Zilker Park. The furnishings definitely have plenty of character, and the entire place was very clean. Lois was incredibly communicative and responsive to our needs. I would certainly recommend this to any couple looking for an Austin getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Lois Goodman

This is me in one of my five art cars I have had since 1999. My current car is Mermania, a mermaid car. I have been a professional intuitive since 1993 and have been teaching intuition classes since 1995. Presently I hold dating workshops and relationship support groups throughout the year. Somehow over the years I have become a relationship expert and have yet to find a question that I can’t answer. I enjoy local theatre and the film festivals. I live in the neighborhood less than a mile from the rental. I am known for having one of the most colorful houses in this very eclectic neighborhood. The yard has been featured on the local yard art tour and the house had been on the Weird homes tour five times. The art car pictured above is my fourth. It is “Carsmos” which is decorated with a sea theme, the solar system, the city of Austin, and the different regions of earth on the hood. I am the female in the photo and my life partner is the male, who is also an artist. We have travelled a bit (mostly the U.S. and Europe) and the photos throughout the rental are ours. Color makes me feel alive and the color in the rental and in our photography is a reflection of that passion. My motto is “if there is still twenty minutes, there is time to see a museum”. Having studied art history and gone on four art history tours of Europe, I have been fortunate to have seen some of the very best European Masters and some of the greatest museums in the world. I couldn’t be happier.

Why they chose this property

I purchased the Four-Plex because of the incredible location and the highly desirable neighborhood. Although it looks like it might be a busy street, it is quiet and peaceful. I enjoy the greenery and the old trees everywhere. It is hard to get much closer to the park or to the back entrance of our famous Barton Springs Pool. It is our natural treasure. The unit is in a residential neighborhood but only blocks away are some of the best Austin restaurants located on Barton Springs Rd. Everything is close. There is no need to start a hike on Lady Bird Lake’s Hike and Bike trail when just walking out the door will add less than a mile extra to the run…one way of course. I lived in one of the units in 1990. It was hard to leave but fortunately I didn’t have to go too far. The neighbors are great and if you say “hi” they will always greet you with a big smile. Not only that but I’m sure they won’t mind helping with directions. After all, it is the Austin way.

What makes this property unique

The location, the unique furnishings, the art and all the color make my space special. Also for an apartment/condo, it is very large (950 sq ft). The kitchen is well stocked because I cook. I stocked it with everything I have to have on a daily basis. If there is something you need not there, please tell me.
