About this property

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.

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!

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.
