Good, but......
The location was perfect for us, only an 8 minute drive from our friends house in the Woodlands. The neighborhood itself was very quiet and peaceful. The house is nice, but could definitely use some improvements. Overall, the house was clean but the carpet was old and dirty, and there were some dead bugs on the stairs, which made me wonder if the cleaning crew even vacuumed them. I had to wash the dishes and silverware because they didn't look very clean. Speaking of the kitchen..... there were definitely some things to be desired (pot holders, toaster, tea kettle, ice cube trays) but we only ate breakfasts there so we made due. We parked our car in the garage, but the smell in there was horrendous! The trash can had been sitting in there for who knows how long, so we drug it out and put it on the side of the house, which helped immensely. We weren't told when trash day was, but we came back one night to see all the neighbors with their trash and recycle cans in the curb, so we put both cans out. Early in our stay, my son had taken a shower in the upstairs hall bath and afterwards went down into the kitchen to grab something to drink. He heard a splatting sound, and noticed water leaking from the ceiling and hitting the kitchen floor. He cleaned up the water and put a trash can underneath the leaking area and then found that the shower was leaking into the tile and then down into the ceiling. I contacted the property owner and she was very prompt in her reply. She had a maintenence guy there within a few hours and then he came back the next day to do the repairs, which worked out perfectly because we were gone all day at the Space Center.
On our last night there, we were all exhausted and ready to crawl into bed, but instead, a big, nasty 4 inch long cockroach came crawling out of the twin bedroom where my son was sleeping. To say I was horrified is a gross understatement! Granted, I'm not from Texas or any other place that boasts very large bugs, so this may just be a thing that is expected and normal for the area? I also did not realize that they fly, so that was fun. We eventually found a vacuum cleaner and sucked it up. I had read in one of the previous reviews about a cockroach in the shower, so I was a little worried and hesitant to book the property. Maybe some pest control is needed or maybe this is just a normal thing?
Overall, we had a good stay and the house served the purpose we needed it for.
