Has potential

This is a high end townhouse in an excellent location with college apartment furnishings. Not enough seating in living room, master bed is a mattress on the floor. Beautiful kitchen - with very used, cheap pans and not enough glasses. No window coverings in downstairs bedroom. An “okay” place to stay, but could be so much better

Graduation Celebration

My father and I booked this VRBO rental to host a dinner party for my family, and as a place to stay close to downtown. I graduated at the NRG stadium, so the location was perfect! The house was BEAUTIFUL! There are 4 flights of stairs, so you will get your workout in! Just keep that in mind if you have guests that have difficulties going up and down the stairs. Especially, because the first flight (maybe 10 steps) there was no railing to hold onto. Everyone loved the size of the master bedroom and closet. The only thing I did not notice was that the master bed is just a mattress on the floor. Slightly disappointing… but we only stayed two nights, so it was manageable. Overall, I would stay here again for the luxury and location! Great host communication as well.

About the host

Hosted by Esmeralda Herrera

Host profile image
We are a family of four who believe home isn’t just one place, it’s a collection of stories.

Our journey comes from everywhere. My husband and I are Colombian at heart, shaped by our roots, our culture, and the warmth we grew up with. Over the years, we found something special in Houston—a place that welcomed us, challenged us, and became our home.

Our daughter was born in Singapore, giving her a global beginning, while our son is a proud Houstonian through and through.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it truly offers the best of everything Houston has to offer in one place. Located in the heart of the city, it gives us easy access to some of the best museums, parks, restaurants, and cultural spots, while still feeling welcoming and residential.

One of the things we love most is how close we are to the Museum District, home to more than 10 incredible museums where you can spend an entire day exploring art, history, science, and culture. Just a few minutes away, you’ll also find beautiful green spaces and parks perfect for walking, jogging, or simply relaxing outdoors.

We also enjoy the vibrant energy of the area—there’s always something to do. From local coffee shops and diverse restaurants to outdoor events and neighborhood gatherings, there’s a strong sense of community that makes the area feel alive but still comfortable.

What makes this property unique

What makes our home truly unique is the way it combines space, comfort, and unforgettable views in the heart of the city.

One of the standout features is the rooftop, where you can enjoy sweeping views of the Houston skyline. It’s the perfect place to relax in the evening, watch the sunset, or simply take in the energy of the city from above.

The home is spread across four floors, giving everyone plenty of space and privacy. At the same time, the main living room brings everyone together with its open layout—ideal for entertaining, gathering with family, or hosting friends comfortably.

The primary suite is designed as a private retreat, featuring a fantastic hot tub for relaxation and a spacious walk-in closet that adds both luxury and convenience to everyday living.

Altogether, the home blends modern city living with comfort and style, offering both impressive spaces for entertaining and quiet areas to unwind. It’s a place where you can enjoy Houston from every level—literally.
