We had a great stay at this property during our trip to Houston. The home was exactly what we needed, and honestly, it looked even better in person than it did in the pictures online, which was a pleasant surprise.There was a little confusion regarding our early check-in, but Yolonda was very responsive and handled the situation promptly, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and we would definitely consider staying here again.
