We LOVED this home. It's 3 different units and great for large groups. Everything was clean and looked just like the pictures. It's located in an up and coming neighborhood, but we had no problems at all. The people were very friendly. We would definitely stay again!

We appreciate your kind words and are thankful that you and your group were wonderful guests.
Marcos, the host, was available and responsive. The property was clean. We enjoyed the use of the Keurig but there was only one regular size coffee cup. All other mugs were espresso cups. We saw two roaches but there was spray under the sink. When I contacted the host about the roaches, he let me know that they do have professionals come out and spray every three months. The place is gated and location was perfect for us since it was close to the graduation we attended. We knew the property was in the Third Ward so we’re weren’t surprised with the activities happening across the street at the liquor store. The property provided what we needed. The price point was great. And the place was centrally located.

Thank you for the awesome review. We look forward to hosting you guys again.
Our host, Marco, was so responsive and kind! Check-in was easy, and the beds were super cozy. We were so glad to find a space with such close proximity to so many attractions that could also accommodate 8 people. Thank you!

I liked the amount of amount of rooms the stay had it’s hard to find that many rooms in the area. I like the quality of the place as well and it was close to a lot restaurants, lounges and shopping.

Disliked: Location
We did not have enough towels or coffee cups. The house was clean but the neighborhood was scary. We were grateful for the gated driveway even though the fence had a hole in it big enough for a person to easily enter. The Houston police department was seen driving by often.

Thank you for the feedback Brian. I wish you would have told you needed more towels or cups. I could have supplied them for you during your stay. Also thanks for letting me know about the fence. I’ll take care of that ASAP.
We loved this property. It was perfect for our group and allowed us to all be in one place, but still have privacy within the group and for each person to have their own bedroom and bathroom. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.
