About this property

'Amazing Location' SoCo Apartment - 1/2 Block to Restaurants, Shops, Live Music

Visit Austin and stay in the best SoCo location - less than 150 ft. from South Congress Avenue's vibrant center - located on the block, halfway between Vesapio Restaurant and June's All Day Restaurant, diagonally across from the South Congress Hotel. Step out the Lofts private courtyard door and around the corner to fine restaurants, boutiques, food trailers, live music and the hub of activities for Austin's major events. This location is right in the middle of many of the special live venues for SXSW, and close by all of Austin's local year round entertainment. There are 20 fine restaurants to choose from less than a 10 minute walk from our front door. We welcome visitors from all over the world. Read our reviews !! - Our guests love staying here...

The Art Alley Loft is a fresh clean studio apartment, built specifically for visitors wanting to be in the heart of Austin's activities - This beautiful apartment has a queen size bed, and a comfortable lounging area with luxury private bath that offers you a personal retreat right in the middle of one of Austin's favorite city spots.

Our heart of SoCo location is right off S. Congress Ave in the Bouldin Creek neighborhood - putting you minutes from downtown and at the center of SoCo, two blocks from the Hotel San Jose and around the corner from the South Congress Hotel. All of our visitors truly enjoy this vibrant area.

The Art Alley Loft has a mini-refrigerator, microwave oven, hot-water kettle, plates, silverware, cups, glasses and wine glasses - everything you need for light eating in this apartment home, and with dozens of interesting and gourmet restaurants to choose from, good food is always close by.

Fantastic restaurants, 24/7 breakfast, live music, boutique and vintage shopping are all just steps away from your front door - relax and enjoy the private courtyard area.

We often provide a home brew craft beer tasting to guests in the courtyard (if we're not off at one of the many Austin special events)...

The Art Alley Loft was registered and licensed by the City of Austin in 2012 as an approved Short Term Rental (Austin STR) property, meeting the city code inspection and safety requirements. City of Austin - Licensed Short Term Rental (STR) - 2019 License .

Small and perfectly formed in a great spot.
Although this property is a studio it has everything you need for a stay in Austin. There are many bars, restaurants and coffee shops nearby including both C Boys and The Continental Club if music is your thing. Sixth Street is about a 25 minute walk down hill - although of course this means it's uphill on the way home! However, if you can't face walking, an Uber home from down town costs about $8. We also enjoyed breakfast at June's which is literally 2 minutes away. Nan is quick to respond to any queries and check in is really easy. A great apartment and highly recommended.

Very comfortable, clean, walking distance to fun/ restaurants.
Verry good choice for two and a rental car. The unit is behind stores and restaurants in an alley.With deliveries and thrash pick up in the early hours. No big deal but was not ready for the wake-up call. Will stay again.👍🏽👍🏽Mercy Nan

About the host

Host profile image
Hi - I'm Nan… We've been Austin residents for over 22 years - and have traveled across the US and around the world, using VRBO / Home Away for our stays in many different countries.

We enjoy live music, great food, good friends and all the varied outdoor activities that Austin has to offer.

Our guests like to start their day with coffee in the private courtyard, and end the day in the courtyard sipping a nice refreshing beverage.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property to live right in the middle of one of Austin's most happening areas SoCo (S. Congress / Bouldin Creek area) & SoFi (South First St. area) - we love to walk or bike everywhere and there's always something fun to do or a great restaurant choice just minutes away.

With dozens of personal experiences staying at VRBO apartments around the world, we knew exactly what we wanted to provide in our Art Alley Loft for you to have the best stay in Austin !!

What makes this property unique

We provide a long list of items available for you to use during your visit…including: Folding Chairs, Oversize Pool Towels (to use at the springs), Full Sets of Frisbee Golf Disks (3 courses in town), Day Packs, Walking Sticks, Picnic Wine Glasses, and much, much more...
