About this property

The Soco Studio | Chic Stay w/ Balcony

Summary:

Park yourself in posh over this garage.

Travis Heights, Austin | Stylish Studio Apt. | Nightly Rental | 450 Sq. Ft. | Sleeps 4

Remember Kirk Cameron’s garage apartment on Growing Pains? Imagine that, only way more modern and without the water bed. This charming studio in historic Travis Heights has style, space, and close proximity to all of Austin’s best spots.



The Space:

Stay alone or with friends & family in this stunning hideaway located in the heart of Travis Heights, one of Austin's most beloved and walkable neighborhoods. This light and bright studio has all the luxuries of a hotel suite paired with all the comforts of home.



If you’re an open-concept kind of person (walls are so overrated) then this is the space for you! You’ll be greeted by floor to ceiling walls of beautiful wood, with an adorable modern kitchen surrounded that boasts more subway tile than Grand Central Station. Take a peek out of your expansive front windows and enjoy the views from your private, covered balcony. If you’re inspired to recite a line from Romeo and Juliet - fine by us! You do you.



And if you wanna live like a local, you can’t beat this location. Travis Heights is considered an original "suburb" even though it’s right in the middle of town now. You’ll find it full of quaint bungalows, historic estates, and modern spaces. Old trees tower over the homes and streets, and neighbors and families still sit on front porches. People are warm and friendly. Locals gather and hang out at the neighborhood restaurants with family and friends. Owners, waiters, and workers often get to know you by name. It's that kind of special place. firmed.



Guest Access:

You are staying in the studio above the garage, behind the main house on Lockhart Lane. Take the stairs on the left side of the driveway up to your place. You may park in the driveway on the far RIGHT space. You access the driveway and your studio from the side street, Newning St.

- Continental Club – Step into Austin’s iconic live-music venue and catch a show like a true local.

- Lucky Robot – A fun and colorful Japanese spot where creative sushi meets South Congress energy.

- AND, YES, TORCHY's - the queso slaps!

Friends Getaway

The Studio was the perfect spot to get around to all the best spots. A six minute walk to South Congress but tucked away in a quaint, quiet neighborhood. Close to restaurants, live music at The Continental, nice shops and Amy’s Ice Cream! It was also very easy to hop on the highway to get to Waco or San Antonio or Roundtop within 60-90 minutes. Wonderful !

Great home away from home

We loved our stay at the SoCo Studio! The location was great, close to South Congress and within reasonable driving distance to a lot of the things we wanted to do in Austin. The studio itself was extremely clean and very comfortable. It was a perfect home base for us during our visit to Austin. Lodgewell was awesome to work with and excellent in their communications. They even left us some local snacks and provided coffee, which we really appreciated! I’d travel back to Texas just to stay in a Lodgewell-managed property: highly recommend!

Prime location in a charming walkable neighborhood

This lovely property was just blocks away from South Congress, a convenient walk from restaurants and interesting sights in the neighborhood. We could stroll to breakfast when we wished without always having to drive. The apartment is on a quiet, charming street with friendly neighbors. It was also easy to drive to other places of interest in downtown Austin and out of town. The apartment itself was sparkling and attractive - exactly as shown in photos. We enjoyed a meal or two on the balcony, and really appreciated having a washer/dryer onsite. It was easy to communicate with the property manager, and any questions we had were quickly answered. It felt like our home away from home. We would love to stay here again next time we're in Austin. Thank you for making our first trip to Texas extra special!

Great location! Close to S. Congress which has shopping, restaurants, bars, live music.. everything! It was easy to work with the property manager - I recommend texting them because that was the quickest way to communicate. It was very clean and they supplied snacks, a few non-alcoholic drinks, shampoo, body wash, makeup remover wipes, etc. It was very quiet even though we were so close to the night life. My husband slept amazing but I had a hard time sleeping. The bed was uncomfortable for me but he loved it. Definitely a preference thing. Overall, we would stay here again. Highly recommend!
