½ Blk to S Congress • Walk to Live Music & Shops
Steps away from Austin’s South Congress scene! Walk over and sip coffee at La La Land Cafe, snap a pic at the ‘I love you so much’ mural at Jo's, score cowboy boots at Tecovas, Lucchese, or Allens, catch live music at The Continental Club or C-Boys, grab some tacos at Torchy's, watch the bats fly from Congress St Bridge, or take a dip at Big Stacy Pool. We are 15 min from the airport, 1.5 mi to downtown. Locally run by our family—we look forward to hosting you!

Good to know
Location, Location, Location – This compact, thoughtfully designed studio is the perfect home base for exploring Austin. A walker’s paradise (Walk Score: 96!)—stroll to Town Lake, shops, gourmet eats, or cowboy boots. Vegan bites at Bouldin Creek Cafe or a nightcap at House Wine are just a short walk away. Two twin beds are ideal for friends traveling together. Cook in the full kitchen or reheat nearby favorites like June’s or Torchy’s. We’ve stocked coffee, tea, basics, plus a Bluetooth speaker, fast internet, and Smart TV. Beach towels are ready for Barton Springs, Deep Eddy, Town Lake, or Big Stacy Pool just half a mile away. Free street parking with the provided parking pass. 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.

Other Details to Note
Minimal Space, Maximum Austin: The Alley Haus is small and doesn’t have a traditional living room, so it’s best for guests who want a comfortable place to sleep, cook, and plan their Austin adventures. With two twin beds, a full kitchen, and essential amenities, it’s a perfect home base. Photos are true to life—please confirm the size/space works 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.
