Really enjoyed our stay in the apartment. The apartment was in an ideal location close to Rice University and lots of restaurants to choose from. Check-in and check-out was very smooth. The apartment was very clean and well-furnished. The property had lots to offer, and we liked the use of the parking garage. Will definitely stay here again.

Amazing Stay!!!

My husband and I absolutely loved this apartment! The location was perfect - we didn’t drive more than 15 or 20 minutes to any place we wanted to go. The apartment itself was spotless, cozy & exactly as listed. Our host was nice & gave us no issues. Getting in & out of the parking ramp was a little tricky but nothing that would keep me from staying here again! Excellent place!

Great stay

This apartment was exactly as posted. The only thing I would like to see is better pots and maybe a sauce pan. The coating in the ones there is peeling and this is not healthy. The bed was comfortable and the furniture new. I would recommend this apartment.

Amazing Host and Great Location

We had an amazingggggg stay. Donta was professional and had great communication. This space was beautifully arranged and cleanliness was top tier. We were no more than 15 minutes away from all activities. We felt safe and comfortable. Check in process was a breeze. If you are considering... book it. You will not be disappointed.

Clean and good location

Very clean property in the medical center close to what we needed. Well stocked full kitchen. We did not receive the check in information until after check-in time, after I called VRBO. But once we received it, it was easy to get in and the owner was very accessible and easy to communicate with. The second bed in the living room is an air mattress, which works fine for our kids, but not what I was expecting. It met our needs well and I would go back again.

Responsive Host; Cozy Apartment; Comfy Bed

My husband and I stayed here leading up to a surgical procedure I had scheduled down the road. The place was clean and the bed was very comfy. The host was responsive when I had questions about how to check in as well. There's a health food store across the street as well as a Walgreens, and there's a donut shop and a taco restaurant on the first floor. This is nice to know if you are interested in parking your car and not needing to use it too much during your stay. It's helpful to know that you enter the parking garage by going around the building to the left and that the key cafe is embedded in the wall to the right of the parking garage entrance. Also, you need to hold the button down on the clicker for a few seconds to unlock doors.

Theft should not be a part of luxurious

We arrived to the property and the exterior was nice and as pictured. We walked into the apartment and it was furnished very nicely. All was fine until the day we were checking out and departing to return home. As we walk out to the parking garage; which by the way is supposed to be secure. Our vehicle was stolen. The fact that previous auto thefts were not disclosed is disheartening. We did not find out until we received the address a few days before we were due to arrive and by then it was too late to cancel. The location should be disclosed so travelers are able to research the area. I’m sure that it would reduce bookings, but it would be the fair and honest thing to do. Donta’s communication was good, but lack of compassion for our vehicle being stolen is the reasoning behind not receiving 5 stars. Overall the apartment was nice. Just be leery of staying in this area. The actual company that owns the property doesn’t care either. They all the excuses and no resolution for any incidents that happen on their property. Never staying here again.
