Christmas visit with family

This was a great place to stay close to local family. It's on a quiet street and there was parking out front. CVS and Whole Foods close by. We liked that the bedrooms each had their own bathroom. We had a sunny day and sat out in the back yard. Nice to have the outdoor space.

Rice Graduation - Amazing stay!

Perfect for our family! Listing is as detailed. Home away from home. Plush towels, Kuerig machine awaits you. Plenty of room to mingle as adults or grab some alone time. Very close to fun restaurants and coffee shops. Highly recommend Empire cafe and Barcelona Bites. Whole Foods and CVS within walking distance. Parking was a breeze. The owners live above, but we never questioned our privacy. It was a wonderful trip. Highly recommend if you need family space and are here visiting RICE.

Perfect location & comfortable home away from home!!

Katy & Mehdi were so very nice & gave us great tips on places to eat!! Lots of places close by to walk to for groceries or necessities. Many nice restaurants in walking distance! Buffalo Bayou is such a beautiful park that's very relaxing, Galveston beach is only 45 min drive, downtown is only 10min! You are close enough to different things to do but separated enough from the hustle & bustle of everything. This area is very safe & the pictures are exactly like the inside! Very clean & comfortable!!! Thanks so much!

Cozy and Welcoming

This location by far has been our favorite. We have always used HomeAway for business and leisure travel. This trip was mostly business and it accommodated all our needs. The owners live upstairs which is great if you are in need of any recommendations on restaurants or popular local spots. If you have any questions or needs the owners are quick to respond and accommodate. There is not enough praise to be given here. Short drive to the heart of Houston and the George R. Brown. The neighborhood is colorful and full of great discoveries. This location is a no brainer.

Furniture/Smoking

Furniture was awful for us older folks. I always smoke outside but these hosts do not allow smoking of any kind anywhere on the property, regardless of inside or out or cigarette or vape. Great location though.
Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 2 July 2022
We highly value all guests. Our listing is a no-smoking listing. This is in the rules and acknowledged on booking. These guests asked 5 times to smoke despite these rules. I strongly advise against accepting this guest if you want to keep it smoke free, and do not desire being penalized for such rules.

Large apt in a perfect location in Houston

This our second stay in this apartment and would still highly recommend. First floor of a solidly built duplex in the older and more peaceful part of town. Yet everything is so close by…restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, museums, the downtown, and even places to walk, all inside the Loop. No drive was more than 20 minutes, incredible for Houston! Your hosts live quietly above you, but no need for their services this time. One suggestion for safety…a hand railing for the two steps up the walkway to the entrance would be very helpful, esp for us seniors. Altogether, a terrific place to stay for us!

Great Location

We had a lovely time. We appreciated that the unit was only 1 block away from whole foods. The kitchen was very useable, plenty of dishes. We found easy parking on the curb every evening and the neighborhood feels very safe. We walked several blocks down to the park at sunset to watch the bats fly out of the bridge, it is a lovely park during the day too. The unit is a very easy drive to all sites in Houston and the Space center. My only complaint is the bed. It was not comfortable. In the morning my poor old bones were sore.

Back Home in Houston

My husband and I return to Houston every year after retiring to the East Coast in 2003. The 2 bedroom 2 bath lower floor of this duplex was just perfect for our needs for 4 days....location within 20 min. of any place we wanted to go, nearby restaurants, shopping, museums, and never a need to be on Houston's congested highways 🙏 . The apt. is open and spare, incredibly well built in a quiet neighborhood. We never heard our hosts or their 2 sweet little ones above us. In fact, knowing that the owners were close by was such bonus, and when we needed some assistance, our host was right there to take care of us. Highly recommend to anyone wishing to stay "Inside the Loop". Hope the rental is available next year when we plan to return to our Second Favorite City!

Disappointing

We never actually stayed at the property. We booked the property while in Houston for a short stay to attend the Astros game. Booked on a Saturday afternoon. By Sunday morning, Hurricane Beryl took a turn towards Houston, so I messaged the owner explaining the situation. It had not even been 24 hours since we booked. Owners refused to refund us. After much messaging and weeks later we were only refunded the cleaning fee. Houston did not have power. Streets were flooded. Everyone else in our baseball group was refunded but us. Even the Astros refunded us. Don’t book unless you pay the hefty insurance because these owners will not refund you, even for a hurricane. I guess they expected me to stay and put my family in harm’s way. The interstate was even flooding on our way out! No thank you. Very disappointing.
Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Dec 2024
So sorry for your loss. Kristine booked after the hurricane not before. Houston did not flood nor take a direct strike from Beryl. We had some power outages but our home wasn’t affected. We regularly refund for a variety of reasons. Kristine is a bully. She stated she wanted to go to the Westin. We don’t allow for travelers to “shop” our location after booking. Beware.
