Back Home in Houston

My husband and I return to Houston every year after retiring to the East Coast in 2003. The 2 bedroom 2 bath lower floor of this duplex was just perfect for our needs for 4 days....location within 20 min. of any place we wanted to go, nearby restaurants, shopping, museums, and never a need to be on Houston's congested highways 🙏 . The apt. is open and spare, incredibly well built in a quiet neighborhood. We never heard our hosts or their 2 sweet little ones above us. In fact, knowing that the owners were close by was such bonus, and when we needed some assistance, our host was right there to take care of us. Highly recommend to anyone wishing to stay "Inside the Loop". Hope the rental is available next year when we plan to return to our Second Favorite City!

Disappointing

We never actually stayed at the property. We booked the property while in Houston for a short stay to attend the Astros game. Booked on a Saturday afternoon. By Sunday morning, Hurricane Beryl took a turn towards Houston, so I messaged the owner explaining the situation. It had not even been 24 hours since we booked. Owners refused to refund us. After much messaging and weeks later we were only refunded the cleaning fee. Houston did not have power. Streets were flooded. Everyone else in our baseball group was refunded but us. Even the Astros refunded us. Don’t book unless you pay the hefty insurance because these owners will not refund you, even for a hurricane. I guess they expected me to stay and put my family in harm’s way. The interstate was even flooding on our way out! No thank you. Very disappointing.

Rice Graduation - Amazing stay!

Perfect for our family! Listing is as detailed. Home away from home. Plush towels, Kuerig machine awaits you. Plenty of room to mingle as adults or grab some alone time. Very close to fun restaurants and coffee shops. Highly recommend Empire cafe and Barcelona Bites. Whole Foods and CVS within walking distance. Parking was a breeze. The owners live above, but we never questioned our privacy. It was a wonderful trip. Highly recommend if you need family space and are here visiting RICE.

Great Location

We had a lovely time. We appreciated that the unit was only 1 block away from whole foods. The kitchen was very useable, plenty of dishes. We found easy parking on the curb every evening and the neighborhood feels very safe. We walked several blocks down to the park at sunset to watch the bats fly out of the bridge, it is a lovely park during the day too. The unit is a very easy drive to all sites in Houston and the Space center. My only complaint is the bed. It was not comfortable. In the morning my poor old bones were sore.

Christmas visit with family

This was a great place to stay close to local family. It's on a quiet street and there was parking out front. CVS and Whole Foods close by. We liked that the bedrooms each had their own bathroom. We had a sunny day and sat out in the back yard. Nice to have the outdoor space.

Large apt in a perfect location in Houston

This our second stay in this apartment and would still highly recommend. First floor of a solidly built duplex in the older and more peaceful part of town. Yet everything is so close by…restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, museums, the downtown, and even places to walk, all inside the Loop. No drive was more than 20 minutes, incredible for Houston! Your hosts live quietly above you, but no need for their services this time. One suggestion for safety…a hand railing for the two steps up the walkway to the entrance would be very helpful, esp for us seniors. Altogether, a terrific place to stay for us!

Perfect spot!

Had a great stay at this house for a mom/daughter trip. It's the perfect combination of being located on an extremely quiet street, yet literally steps away from a CVS and a beautiful Whole Foods store. Safe and friendly neighborhood. Hit the pub that's almost in your back yard (no worries, you can't hear it). Just past Whole Foods (again, you are WALKING to get there), you hit a HUGE trail system where you'd never guess you're in the 4th largest US city by population. Miles and miles and miles of trails. Ck out the Waugh drive bat bridge! The touristy stuff is not far away by car. Street parking at house is easy. The farthest we drove for anything was to the Space Center, which was about a 30 minute drive. Traffic can be awful depending on the time of day in Houston, so plan accordingly. We tried to travel during "off" times, so never sat in traffic. Everything else we did was at most a 20 minute drive, including the Hobby Airport, Holocaust Museum, Art Museum, Aquarium (personally would skip this, it's not that great unless you have little kids), Houston Galleria mall, Zoo, Natural Science Museum, and took in Hamilton at the Hobby Center. Most everything in the Museum district is 12 minutes away at most. Buy a CityPass and save some $ on admission! The house is well equipped for what a traveler needs. Very nice living space with the kitchen island and large dining area. Plenty of extra blankets. Others have commented on the beds and being a person who never sleeps well on vacation, I slept great. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, which was nice. We got to meet our host as we couldn't figure out how to get the heat/AC to work and didn't want to screw everything up, so sent a text. Immediate response, great guy. Others have commented about hearing the family upstairs while you are there. Yes, you will hear them walking around at normal people times....give some graces here, they are nice people! Only heads up I'd give is if you are really tall, this place isn't going to work great for you. Beds are on platform and pretty close to the ground. Couch also sits low. Microwave is in lower cabinetry by sink. With that beautiful shelving system/tile wall in the kitchen, all your cookware and supplies are obviously in the lower cabinets (wine/marg glasses are easy to grab tho - ha ha!). If you have to have a TV in your bedroom, you're out of luck, just one HUGE TV in the living room. Totally would stay here again!

Friends Getaway

This place was clean upon arrival. You can definitely tell the home is older by the weak floors and the light smell of old wood (not a bad smell). The pictures are enhanced a bit, but again the home is clean. It has two bathrooms, but if you noticed, the 2nd bathroom is not shown; that is because it needs to be updated and the shower needs some work done. The blinds are broken in the first bedroom and kitchen; the broken blinds in the kitchen really bothered us because you can see people in the back and I am pretty sure they were able to just take a peak. I am unsure as to why the owners haven't replaced the blinds. I saw on other reviews where the noise from upstairs was mentioned. The owners do in fact live upstairs, which is convenient, but you will hear every footstep of them and their kids. I did notice some earplugs in the kitchen and after the second night, I was wondering if it was meant for us to wear the ear plugs so we would not be disturbed. Lighting outside- the porch light shines bright but not bright enough to light the walkway to the home. My friend fell and I stumbled walking up the stairs of the walkway; I'm pretty sure a few lights around the walkway would help. Parking- there is street parking, but what is not mentioned is that trash day is Monday, so the neighborhood pulls trash to the road on Sunday; which takes up the street parking. When I asked the owner on Sunday night where should we park, he did not know. There was a parking lot on the opposite end of the street from CVS, but there were signs up and we did not want to be towed. We were lucky enough that one of the cars left as we were driving down the street. The house is supposed to sleep 7 people, which means you may have two cars and that may not work. But other than that parking was good. Towels- just like a hotel the owners put out 4 sets of towels; which was fine, but staying there for 4 days we knew we were going to need additional towels and requested more. The owner provided us with an additional face towel and a towel to dry off with, but not a bath towel. We were not going to continue to ask him for towels so we went to the local Walmart and purchased some cheap bath towels and washed the dry towels. No problem at all, but the owner texted after we checked out stating we damaged the towels by leaving stains (makeup) and he wanted us to pay. Sir, you made us get insurance and pay a deposit for damages, so why would he ask us for additional money.
