Home Away From Home
We were in town to attend a graduation at the University of Houston, which was less than two miles from the rental. The location of the rental was near to everywhere we needed to go. The rental was very clean and the online photos truly represented what you got. We had all the creature comforts of home. The communication with the host was very good. Check in and out was very smooth. I liked that we were able to park our vehicle in the garage. Good value for the money. I will definitely stay there again.

Great location in the heart of Huston
Excellent property in a cool neighborhood. If you are a foodie there are many local restaurants that are within walking distance from the property. Also it’s close enough to walk to the convention center. Beautiful property with great rooftop patio. I will stay here again.

This place is even better than the pictures. It was absolutely gorgeous. Lots of places for photo ops, and the neighborhood is nice. Close to the highways so it was easy to get everywhere. I was definitely pleased with my stay

Best House In Houston
This property both cost wise and location were absolutely perfect. Not only did the host have coffee and all of the things you’d hope for as far as basic necessities, they asked for very minimal in terms of check out duties and that never happens any more. It gave us more time to process packing up our own things rather than a list of chores. While that’s a small detail it is a big deal to us so thank you. The house itself… STUNNING, clean and modern. We hope to return to Houston soon and when we do if this property is available we’d book it every time. Also the host was extremely responsive and very friendly. Best experience I’ve ever had. Thank you!
