My husband and I have stayed with Soco spaces twice now and will continue to book for additional visits to Austin. For the convenience, charm, and amenities you simply can't beat the price or location. These rentals are literally walking distance to South Congress, close to downtown and easy to find from the Highway. Travis Heights is also the most charming neighborhood in Austin! It's quiet and comfortable and great for up to 4 people. If you are traveling with a group, there are 4 or more rentals in this area which makes it perfect for outdoor gatherings and dinners at home.

Perfect Place to stay in Austin

We were in Austin shooting a commercial and I rented the Blue, Yellow, Green, & Orange Doors.
They were perfect for what we had to do in regards to work and great for what little free time we had.
We have stayed in some great hotels but staying here felt like you were home as they are tucked away in one of the best neighborhoods in Austin.
We could walk to the best coffee shop in town, Joe's...and many great restaurants.
My crew loved it! We will definitely be back.

My husband and I were looking for a warm climate to call home for a winter month. The Orange Door was available and it became that home. Dani and Joel were extremely helpful. The neighborhood and location were perfect and SoCo was the place to be. The food, music, history and atmosphere of Austin were amazing. I can't think of a better getaway. As much as we enjoyed our stay, we hope to return when the wildflowers and crepe myrtle are in bloom. We will definitely try to book with SoCo Spaces again.

This is our second time staying at soco spaces. We stayed at the blue door a few years back and absolutely loved it! This time around we stayed in the peach and olive door- and it exceeded all expectations! the houses are stunning, beautifully decorated and comfortable, with everything you can imagine to enjoy a weekend stay or more, in Austin. the location was perfect. tucked away in a quiet neighborhood but also close to everything. We had a chance to meet the owner, and she was just lovely!! What we love about the soco places is the personal touch-- the owners always go out of their way to try to accommodate us.. we had a group of ladies staying for a weekend getaway, and we were able to stay in 2 adjoining houses that worked perfectly for us! this is the best option when staying in austin, and I wish every city and town I visited had a "soco space" such as this! thank you , Dani and Joel!!!
