It was easy check in and very clean! The host was just EXTREMELY strict and this home is more for chill vibes than having a lot of people live in it!

Response from VrboOwner on 21 March 2026
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend hosting this guest again. Although I am not an overly strict host and my expectations reflect what most VRBO hosts consider a normal, respectful stay, the condition of the home and the rule violations were far outside acceptable standards. Upon returning, I found the front door left unlocked and the house in extremely poor condition. The floors were covered with dirt, spills, heavy foot traffic, and hair. A wall sculpture had been moved, and several washcloths were left unusable and had to be thrown away. Dirty socks were left on the kitchen island and bookshelves, which was especially concerning given that the home was provided to them very clean. On the first night, the rule was ignored where the guests parked their cars in the driveway for extended periods, blocking my neighbors’ garage doors, even though two garage spaces were provided and free street parking. My neighbors—who have never had issues with any of my previous guests—reported noise, late‑night activity, and what appeared to be an event with at least 30 people entering and exiting the home, including activity at 3 a.m., captured on their external camera. The home required additional cleaning and sanitization beyond a normal turnover, and the situation caused significant stress and nearly led to an early cancellation. While nothing was broken, the overall treatment of the property was unacceptable. I would not host this group again.

The property was modern, plenty of room, kitchen well equipped with dishes and cooking ware—easy access in and out of the property—Museum district and Hermann Park was walking distance. The Host, Bola, was easy to contact and made sure that everything was comfortable for your stay. I will definitely rent the home again in the near future.

I appreciate guests sharing their experiences, and I’m glad this stay reflects the comfort and convenience I work hard to provide. The home does offer modern finishes, plenty of space, and a fully equipped kitchen. I remain committed to being responsive and ensuring every stay is smooth and enjoyable. Thank you Shirley for booking with us and we definitely look forward to hosting you and your family again in the future!

The host was so very helpful and communicative throughout our entire stay. The townhouse is BEAUTIFUL and so so clean! We stayed here long term from out of state for my father’s medical procedure. This home made us feel like we were at home away from home! So cozy, clean, and spacious. The kitchen is fully equipped and we were able to make dinners at the house, just like we were at home. We were a short 8 minute drive from the Texas Medical District, which made our commute so easy. I especially enjoyed the bonus room where you can curl up and read a book or watch a show to relax. I would highly recommend booking your stay with Bola at this property in Houston!
