Birthday weekend

The property is beautiful. It offers a lot to a larger group as you can venture up and down the property. We had a dinner that was definitely enjoyed. Half my family karaoke on the second floor while some hung out on the roof top relaxing enjoying the air and city skyline. The rooms are good size and comfortable. Overall it is a really good place to stay, if in Houston on vacation.

Awesome Townhouse Downtown Views!!!

I stayed here for about 4 nights and I had a wonderful stay.  The finish out of the unit is super nice.  The TV in the living room is huge.  The beds are very very comfortable.  The roof top deck has an amazing view of downtown and is a cool place to chill at night. I was able to pull my Toyota Tundra crew cab in the garage.  There was plenty of street parking near the unit. The instructions for the stay were very clear and helpful. I was able to access the unit with no issues. Most importantly the host is very responsive to questions getting back to me in just a couple of minutes.  I would stay here again.

Bach trip stay

Overall the stay was nice! There was technically enough space to accommodate 16 guests! Minor issues where that there were not enough towels for 16 guests so bring your own! And that the pull out couch is broken and being “held up” with duct tape so not the most comfortable rest. Other than that I definitely recommend this spot! Close to pretty much everything downtown. Check in was easy! The place is well kept!

Great central home

We stayed for a Bachelorette & Girls long weekend. This home was perfect for gathering together and hanging out. Walking distance to food and coffee and a short drive to most activities we wanted to do.

35TH Birthday Trip

With this being a last minute stay due to our trip being cancelled to New Orleans, this house did not disappoint my group of 10. This house was absolutely amazing! The location was amazing, allowing us to get to everything we needed within 8 minutes or less. The host was great and very responsive! Overall, this place was really nice and we enjoyed all the things about the property; the skyline view, the space, and the location!

Girls Trip

This property is very comfortable and is as pictured. However, the property is not perfect hence my 4/5 star rating, although it's a great property. My group consisted of 8 women and we had ample space and were comfortable in the home. However there are some things that could have made our stay an A+ 1) More towels are needed. There are only two sets of towels in each bathroom, which means that each person had one towel for the entire weekend. The home sleeps 14+ guests, and considering that there were only 8 of us, we should have had plenty of towels. We had to go to Target and buy additional towels. 2) Cookware & Dinning Utensils- The home has top tier appliances, but horrible cookware! For the price this homes needs to have more cookware and dining utensils. We had a private cook and the cook had to bring additional cookware and dinning utensils in order to adequately prepare and plate our meals. 3) The home is very clean, with the exception of the bathroom rugs. The rugs in the bathroom need cleaning! The are visibly stained. These are minor issues and were minor inconveniences. Overall, I recommend this property and would stay here again.

Great stay!

I truly enjoyed our stay and the location was amazing. Communication with the owners was very easy and they were responsive. Any issue I had they were quick to resolve. The home looks even bigger than in the pictures; they only thing I would say is make sure your party can walk lots of stairs. thanks for making my stay great!

My 40th Birthday Bash

This house was in an amazing location - less than 10 mins from all activities. Clean and super spacious for 14 people!! The host was incredibly responsive. But OMG the view on the rooftop was stunning you could see the whole downtown. Perfect for parties - pictures were true to reality but house feels bigger than pictures do justice.
