About Nan

We've been Austin residents for 15+ years - and have traveled across the US and around the world, using VRBO 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.

You can join us for a swim in the local public pool (free) at Stacy Park - just a short walk or bike ride away. Or mountain biking on one of Austin's many great trails...

We like to end our day in the courtyard sipping a nice glass of wine or one of our refreshing home brewed craft beers - join us !!

Nan purchased this apartment in 2010
Why Nan chose Austin

We chose this property to live right in the middle of one of Austin's most happening areas - 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 Lofts for you to have the best stay in Austin !!

What makes this apartment unique

We are avid bicycle riders and have a few bicycles available for you to use when you stay with us in the Art Alley Lofts. Ride down to Zilker park for ACL and be there in just minutes from this central location.

Very Convenient Location!!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 20, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
I stayed at the Art Alley Lofts for my friend's graduation and was surprised at how convenient the location is from everything. The places we went to like 6th street, UT's campus, etc were no longer than about 10-15 minutes drive away. My girlfriend loved the place and said it was very "modern" and "uppity," and I have to agree with her. My favorite part of the place was the shower, I just liked how roomy and open it is. Nan did a great job with the place. Nan was also helpful and gave us our privacy and definitely didn't felt overwhelming or anything of the sort. I would stay again for my next trip down to Austin.

My only complain/nit-pick is that the wall in-between the two lofts is a bit thin, so you can hear other people talk if they were up close to the wall or a bit loud.

This was our first time to Austin and our first time using VRBO. We knew that we wanted to stay in the South Congress area of Austin, but the accommodation options are very limited. Then we found the Art Alley Lofts on VRBO. You couldn’t ask for a better location. It is half a block from all the restaurants, vintage stores, music, and coffee shops on South Congress Street, but it is also located in a residential neighborhood so you really get that neighborhood experience. The lofts are new with great finishes, and impeccably clean! There is a sleek TV, but we never used it because we were too busy exploring Austin on the bicycles that are offered at the Art Alley Lofts. Nan and Jeff were such hospitable and informative hosts. They told us about The Bouldin Creek Café and some of the best BBQ restaurants near Austin. We will definitely stay at the Art Alley Lofts when we visit Austin again.

Excellent!

This loft was perfect for when my sister and I visited Austin for the first time. When we arrived at the loft, Nan was so friendly and helpful. She gave us ideas of where we could go eat, which were tons of places within walking distance!

The loft, though not huge, is perfect size for two people. It's spacious, clean, and feels brand new. There is a really cute courtyard as well with a huge table you could sit at and enjoy your morning coffee. South Congress Street (about 10 seconds from the loft) is full of fun things to do. There are shops, restaurants, and food carts everywhere. About a mile away you can walk down to S. Congress Bridge to watch the bats fly out at sunset. You are also close to downtown, which we visited many times and even went kayaking! One easy way to get to downtown from the loft, other than walking (it's a couple miles from the loft), is to buy a 7-day bus pass. It's only $9 and gives you unlimited rides on the bus during that time. We found the buses to be very clean and almost always on time. There are bus stops all along S. Congress and one very close to the loft.

Overall, I would give this loft a 10/10 for the wonderful space it provided, the hospitality provided by Nan, and its proximity to all the food, shops, and adventurous activities!

Art Lofts for SXSW

5 of 5
Submitted: March 14, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
We recently stayed at the Art Loft for SXSW. I couldn't have imagined staying anywhere else. It was fantastic to get out of the chaos of downtown at the end of the day and really not very far from the convention center. The walk back to the Lofts was really a great way to decompress after being shoulder to shoulder to SXSW attendees all day. The property is off of the main street and very quiet. Right there on S. Congress there are several fantastic restaurants, food trucks, and music venues. The property owner was very accommodating, even considering that we didn't arrive till nearly mid-night. Really a comfortable base to explore Austin and enjoy all of the fun of SXSW without being overwhelmed by the crowds.
