Fantastic SOCO Studio

Absolutely adorable former photo studio, now a lovely vacation rental. Located in the hippest part of town – SOCO (South Congress) with great access to everything that's best about Austin--shopping, restaurants, bars, and major music events.

The studio is an absolute jewel, with round windows, a loft bedroom, and high ceilings downstairs. The space super light and airy, and a happy laid-back Austin vibe. Opens onto a screened porch. Entry through a garden walkway. A real pleasure to be in!

Sleeps 2 or 3 comfortably, 5 if you really like each other.

New bathroom and kitchen. Private entrance, gardens, deck with gas grill, round windows, new high efficiency heat and air, backs onto a creek for great privacy, in a sweet central neighborhood. Super cute hipster music decor.

The owners are amazing and they give amazing privacy as thier home is close bye. The studio is very spacious and calming. The bed is super awsome as well as the one upstairs in the loft. I would and will recommend this studio to anyone that wants a cool safe place to chill and see what Austin offers. (AMAZING FOOD AND PEOPLE!)

Cute spot, quiet natural setting, would stay again
Jana was easy to communicate with, had some great local tips, and her place was a perfect hideaway within short distance to everything. The back yard was always alive with birds, and the space was much bigger than it appears in the pictures. 100% would stay again!

Amazing Home!
I came to Austin with my three college roommates and stayed in Jana’s property and it was so perfect for us! In a great location near SoCo, extremely clean, and Jana made the check in process seamless. Our favorite moments were relaxing on the beautiful screened porch in the morning. Would definitely recommend!!

Sweet host and great location
Jana is a kind and sweet host. Her place is in a great locations with a tons of food and entertainment. Although the studio is behind her place but she gave us our privacy. She was very understanding about our dogs and their noise they made. Thank you again for a good experience in our first time in Austin.

SOCO Studio
We enjoyed our stay at the SOCO Studio. The location fit our needs perfectly. Our host Jana was very friendly and repaired the handrail to the loft the same day we reported it. The studio was very comfortable and well equipped. We appreciated the fenced yard as we were traveling with our two pups. We would be happy to stay here again on our next visit to Austin.

Weekend Trip
Everything was good about property except there was no mention that the only bathroom was up steep loft stairs. My husband has nerve damage in his feet and if I would have known about location of only bathroom I could have made a better decision for him to safely navigate. We had to leave and find a restroom for him to use.

So cute and unique!
What a gem! Not only was this studio perfectly suited to our unique needs (small, dog-friendly and close to campus), but there was also Jana's warm hospitality and easy-going nature. Jana's dogs were immediate friends with our dog, which made the whole weekend easier. We will for sure be back.

Great ACL spot!
Perfect location and comfy stay. Everything was as pictured and very clean. Parking was not an issue (parked on the street right out front every night/day). The festival was a very short Uber or Lyft ride away, and we were able to catch a ride share within 2mins of requesting every time. We enjoyed coffee on the deck in the morning and the short walk to restaurants and coffee shops! Owner was very responsive and we had no problems! Thanks a bunch!

The PERFECT location!
My partner and I came into Austin for a couple days after some time out in country. This property was in such a great location! We found many great coffee places, restaurants, and thrift stores all within 4 miles, most within a ½ mile distance. Jana was kind and quick to respond. The space is clean, provides plenty of necessary a/c in these summer months, and the screened porch was a great place to sit and drink our coffee while enjoying the morning breeze. You should definitely consider staying here on your next visit in!

SOCO studio
Really nice property in a nice quiet location within walking distance or short car ride to many local shops, restaurants, and bars. Jana the owner is great as well, very helpful and there if you need anything but also non-obtrusive. One minor inconvenience was that the bathroom was upstairs, and descending the stairs might be a bit tricky for those with disabilities or perhaps the elderly. Other than that, really nice place to stay.

Perfect Location; Interesting Floor Plan
For the price point, you won't find a better location. South Congress is a block away, and the main shopping and dining on South Congress is a short scooter ride or drive up the road. Even so, the neighborhood is quiet and cozy. The unit's bathroom is upstairs, and those stairs are no joke. We were grateful to find a kid/pet friendly property, but I worried about both (and me) going up and down those stairs. Oh, the back patio is fantastic. The owner uses it frequently, but she was very nice.

Excellent Stay in a Wonderful Location.
Jana was an excellent host for us and very quickly replied to texts whenever we had any questions. The location is through a gate in the back garden easily accessed with a wonderful enclosed patio area where my roommate and I read books to start our morning. It is a short walk to multiple coffee spots and a skip and a jump from many excellent restaurants due to the phenomenal location. I absolutely recommend checking out Cosmic Coffee right down the street when you stay here! There were plenty of fresh towels and clean linen for our stay as well as complimentary shampoo/conditioner/body wash with anything you need in the kitchen for meals if you choose to stay in during the evening. Free parking was a huge plus and the neighborhood was quiet. We had our lil dog Chaco with us and he greatly enjoyed meeting the other dogs of the neighborhood as we went on walks to explore the fun area! Overall - Stay here if you are looking for a fun getaway!
