Good to know
Location, Location, Location – Compact and thoughtfully designed, this studio makes a perfect home base while you explore Austin. A walker’s paradise (Walk Score: 96!) — stroll to Town Lake, explore shops, and treat yourself to everything from gourmet eats (Perla's or Aba) to a fresh pair of cowboy boots. Wander through the Bouldin neighborhood to S. First for vegan bites at Bouldin Creek Cafe or a nightcap at House Wine. The Space This studio is set up to make your Austin stay easy and comfortable. You’ll have two twin beds—great for friends traveling together. A full kitchen means you can cook in or just reheat leftovers from June’s, Aba, or Torchy’s down the street. We’ve stocked coffee, tea, and the basics, plus a Bluetooth speaker, fast Google gigabit internet, and a Smart TV for your apps. We’ve also thought about your adventures—beach towels are ready for Barton Springs, Deep Eddy, or Town Lake. And just half a mile away, Big Stacy Pool is free and spring-fed, staying around 78° year-round—perfect for laps in the morning or a cool dip after exploring South Congress. Parking’s easy here—you’ll have a free permit for street parking, so no circling the block after a long day out. Check-in is simple, and if you need anything, we’re quick to respond. We’re a small, family-run spot, so when you stay here, you’re supporting real Austinites. Got questions? Just ask—we’re happy to help. Thanks for considering Stay Austin TX and The Alley Haus.

Other Details to Note
Minimal Space, Maximum Austin: The Alley Haus is a small space without a traditional living room—but what it lacks in square footage, it more than makes up for in location. 😊 The photos are true to life, so take a peek and make sure it’s the right fit for your group. Bathroom Step: There’s a 12-inch step up into the bathroom, so if anyone in your party has mobility concerns, please take that into account—we want everyone to be safe and comfortable during their stay. Heating & Cooling: The space has a full-size wall unit that provides both heating and air conditioning to keep things comfy year-round. Coffee Starter Kit: We include a small starter set of coffee, cream, and sugar—but with so many amazing cafés nearby, you might just find a new favorite each morning. ☕ (Jo’s, The Meteor, Bouldin Creek Cafe, Swedish Hill Cafe and The Salty Donut are all just a short stroll away!) Need Groceries? HEB is less than a mile away if you need to stock up on snacks, drinks, or anything else during your stay.
