This adorable 500 square foot bungalow sits behind my hair salon on South 1st Street in the very popular and trendy SOCO area of Austin. It has been lovingly remodeled and prepared to host even the most finicky guest to the casual guest with close proximity to downtown Austin less than 1.5 miles away! Nestled between Zilker Park/Barton Springs Pool and South Congress, you'll find yourself in the middle of all the local attractions. In addition, there is a park (Gillis Park) located directly across the street for those of you with children, animals, and/or enjoy a walk nearby.

The bungalow details:
Enjoy this private bungalow with an open concept (efficiency) with a 42 inch flat screen TV including cable, WiFi internet, tempur-pedic queen sized mattress, comforter with 100 percent cotton duvet cover (comfy), Egyptian cotton sheets/pillows, and a knotty pine queen sleigh bed from the exquisite Wildflower Organics. There is a comfy white cotton slip cover sofa for seating. Walk in closet provides plenty of room to hang clothes, and many shelves for storing belongings. The bathroom has a stand up shower, Bath and Body antibacterial hand soap,lotion, and shower gel. Shower cap, hairdryer, and comfy towels also provided. The kitchen has a gas stove, microwave, full size refrigerator, coffee maker, ceramic teapot, kettle, and pots/pans. There is also the option of outdoor dining and/or relaxing under the pergola/patio which is to the left of the front salon building. I have solar lights wrapped around the pergola that light up at night, too.

PARKING:
There is on site parking. We ask for you to park in the nearest spot to the back bungalow (about 10 feet from the door - super close and convenient!)

  • We really enjoyed our time in the bungalow! It is very clean and comfortable - with easy access to all the placed you want to go in Austin.

  • Great location, very cute and clean, and lots of amenities (even peppermint patties!). I will definitely consider staying again in the future.

  • Had a great time, very clean, nice place, and Sovay provided some very nice smelling toiletries. My friend and I never smelled better while cruising the streets of Austin. The best thing about the place is the location. Within walking distance of a number of excellent food and drink options. If you're a foodie and want a flavour of Austin it would be tough to beat this location for access to top quality mexican and barbeque.

  • Comfortable, clean, in a great location. Everything is exactly as pictured and described. Close to some awesome restaurants--Polvos, Mueller's BBQ, Barton Creek Cafe, Torchy's Tacos, and El Tacoriddo, the first drive-through taco stand I've ever seen. You'll need a car or bike to get to Town Lake or the downtown area. All in all, a sweet spot and I'd gladly stay there again.

  • The bungalow was very cute and had more than enough space for my husband and I. My husband is 6'8" so I was a bit worried about the footboard on the bed, but it was plenty long even for him! The bungalow feels a bit remote in location, but you're about a 10-minute walk from cute spots on 1st Street and a 15-minute walk from the action on SoCo. It was very clean, and had all sorts of handy products in the bathroom -- a fresh bar of soap, sunscreen, hand wipes, etc.

  • My husband and I spent two nights in the bungalow after a few nights downtown at a conference hotel. It was a nice change and put us closer to S. Congress. The bungalow has everything you need, it is clean and well decorated. I recommend it for your next visit to Austin. However, it is a bit of a hike to anything, so consider a bike or car.

    Everyone else has pretty much said it all- this is a great space with everything you need!

  • Sovay's cottage was super cute and super clean. Everyone from the salon in the front was nice and friendly. Sovay's helper, Santiago, was very nice and very helpful as well. I am kinda a clean freak, but was super surprised and delighted on how clean and well maintained the cottage's condition. The kitchen is well stocked, and she even has a few extras, like soap, bandages, mouthwash, and things of that nature. This place is relatively close to downtown and it is easy to get to the major highways. If you don't want the hassle of parking downtown, no problem, the buses run right outside the door, and a cab ride would not be too expensive. It is also a mile or so to the hip area of south congress, not a bad walk. We highly recommend Sovay's cottage on south first. We would totally stay here again, though I do want to check out her other place as well! We hope you enjoy your stay in Austin. I am from Austin, and miss it terribly. We hope to be moving back in a year or so. Best Wishes, Angela and Bobby Cumo

  • The bungalow worked perfect for a long weekend. It had everything we needed and was in a great location, close to Soco and Downtown. Thanks for the hospitality!

It is truly magical and the heart of the city, containing Zilker Park, Barton Springs Pool, Town Lake Running Trail, Umlauf Sculpture Gardens, Botanical Gardens and a walk/bike ride away from downtown.
