About the host
Hosted by Sharada M
I’ve called Houston home since 1995 — long enough to know every hidden gem this city has to offer. A Rice University graduate and retired investment banker, I decided to share my love for this neighborhood by opening Main St Cottage to guests who want an authentic Houston experience. I take pride in a well-maintained, thoughtfully equipped space and I’m always happy to share my favorite local spots.

Having lived in Houston for more than 35 years and studied at Rice University, I’ve come to appreciate everything this area has to offer. It’s the kind of place where you can spend the morning at the Menil Collection, enjoy lunch at a neighborhood café, explore the Museum District, and still be just 10 minutes from the Texas Medical Center, Downtown, NRG Stadium, and Houston’s major sporting and entertainment venues.
Whether you’re visiting for FIFA World Cup 2026, business, a medical stay, a university visit, or simply to experience Houston, this neighborhood offers an ideal balance of convenience, culture, and local character. It’s one of the reasons we love hosting guests here.

Whether you’re visiting for FIFA World Cup 2026, the Texas Medical Center, Rice University, business, concerts, or simply exploring Houston, Main St Cottage combines the convenience of a central location with the comfort and privacy that’s hard to find in the city. It’s an ideal home base for both short getaways and extended stays.
