About the host

Hosted by Jean Nunez

Host profile image
I’m originally from NYC but have moved around a lot for work. Through my work I’ve had the opportunity to live abroad in S. Korea and Germany. Now that I am back in the US, I want to plant my roots and own a home.

I’ve been an avid user for Airbnb as a traveler. Through my experiences I learned what separated super hosts from the standard host. I want to see if I can apply my travel experience to provide an unforgettable host experience to future guests and hopefully expand my business!

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood has a vibrant feel to it. It’s nearby my favorite park in the city and I wanted a home close to downtown as I grew up with a strong appreciation for the urban life.

What makes this property unique

I love that my home has the perfect blend of historical charm with modern touches. It has an original wrap around porch and beautiful high vaulted ceilings. The updates we made to modernize our home includes updating the light fixtures and applying modern furnishings and decor. To top it all off, our home includes and additional studio unit for additional privacy and is centrally located nearby all of Houston's hottest attractions from Downtown, Med Center, Museum District, to the up and coming EADO.
