Peaceful and convenient base for NASA and Galveston
We stayed in this house for 2 nights to avoid driving in the Houston area during rush hours and to be close to NASA space center. It was a very quiet residential neighborhood, very close to the Seawall and the Strand. The house has just 1 shower in one of the baths, but that wasn't a problem after all.
With no convenience stores nearby, we had to plan accordingly to have something to eat and drink in the mornings before we left for our excursions.
Overall, it was a very good experience!
Everthing at property was in order. Host was very Professional and kind at all times of communication.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
There were a few things that needed to be checked prior to renting to a new tenant. The coffee maker was dirty, two dirty coffee cups in the cabinet, a couple nails sticking up from the hardwood floors, towel rack was broke when we arrived. Semi low level apartments with not alot of decor. There was fairly good communication with the rental company.
Thank you so much for your stay with us in the past and we'd love to host you for another stay at this location or any others that we have available and thanks again !
