Casa Patron in Livingston TX is indeed quaint and quirky, from its uniquely-crafted wooden bar (festooned with empty tequila bottles) to its epic double-shower/jacuzzi tub, to its uneven floors that make walking across the room into an experience akin to being on a ship at sea. The home is comfortable, with a well-appointed and equipped (but small) kitchen; the king bed is a bit firm, but comfortable; the septic-tank situation requires no toilet paper enter the potty (which is a bit funky, but there is a bidet attachment on the toilet, which was a new experience to wake up your "senses"). The house is on the highway leading to the Livingston airport, Lake Livingston, and a prison, so there's daytime traffic (but it quiets down at night). The house (which is a duplex unit) shares a huge well-kept backyard with an adjoining single-family home. The property is a couple doors down from Florida's Kitchen, a local soul-food/BBQ place (well worth a visit on Thurs/Fri/Sat--closed other days). We never did figure out the TV situation, but we travel with our laptops and good books to read, so we didn't lack for amusement. The property-owner was incredibly responsive and kind when we had a small issue with the induction cook-top (pro tip: the instruction manual is in the property-info notebook--lol). All in all, much better than checking into a hotel, and we're glad we came.
