Studio Haus East 6th Austin by Kasa — Hotel in Austin

What an amazing stay I had at Studio Haus by Kasa. I recently relocated from Mexico to Austin and needed a bridge place while setting up my apartment and getting to know the city. I stayed for almost a month (September 8th–29th) and am so glad I found this spot—it truly felt like a second home.

From day one, the team didn’t just help me out—they made me feel welcome, like I was part of the family. Ernesto (manager) and Calvin (operations manager) weren’t only helpful but also genuinely personable, always taking the time to check in, share a laugh, and make sure I was settled. The front desk staff—Mel, Mia, Amber, Jasmine—and Susan’s cleaning team all went above and beyond to create an atmosphere that was warm, supportive, and fun.

What makes Studio Haus stand out is the people—you simply don’t get this kind of community at an Airbnb. Every interaction felt genuine, and the staff truly cared about making my transition to Austin easier. The location in East Austin was perfect for exploring, and in short order, I was able to establish some roots and even make a few friends along the way.

I highly recommend Studio Haus by Kasa to anyone needing a welcoming, convenient, and community-minded place to land in Austin. And apologies if I left anyone off by name—the whole team deserves credit for making this such a...

My five-day stay at Kasa in Austin was genuinely unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, everything felt effortless. The check-in, the warmth of the staff, and the sense that I was truly being looked after. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and had everything I needed to feel right at home. I want to highlight Mel, the host when I arrived and my go to person for anything I needed while I was there. She was absolutely exceptional. She’s easily one of the most professional, kind, and accommodating people I’ve ever met in the hospitality industry. No matter what I needed, she was already a step ahead with a thoughtful solution or suggestion. Every host I met at Kasa also carried that same friendly, welcoming energy, which made the whole experience even better. The location of Kasa was perfect. Being right on 6th Street put me in the middle of everything, with Whisler’s next door and so many great restaurants and bars just a short walk away, there was always something to do. Yet when I came back to my room, it was peaceful, quiet, and felt like I was in a comfortable but luxurious space. Traveling from New York to Texas I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this trip exceeded every hope I had. I’m genuinely grateful to Kasa and the entire team for creating such a wonderful experience. I’ll...

It’s a real testament to innovative thinking when a hospitality company can provide 70%-80% of a boutique hotel experience at a fraction of the price. The formula seems to be to nail the high-touch points (efficient customer contact, good bed/pillows/towels and fixtures, cleanliness, and basic but helpful amenities), while exercising cost control with functional minimalism in facilities construction, instead of cheaping out in typical, annoying ways (garbage bath products, terrible beds, scratchy towels, etc). They’ve obviously taken learnings from hostels, co-working and other space-as-a-service companies, and from high-end minimalism (e.g., The Standard) and also from the “Ritz Carlton-school” service formula. I haven’t been delighted by a combination of price and experience in a while, and was thinking that was unattainable. You guys showed me that those two things aren’t mutually exclusive. Maintenance is going to be absolutely essential as these facilities age, and hopefully that’s built into the operational model and won’t get neglected in the future. Great work. Just one small thing: No towel...
