Had a great time with the kids on a long bday weekend. The host was great and on top of it all, the place was well kept, free parking right up from and the location is close to everything. Would stay again
Pretty bungalow with outdoor space. Host was very nice and helpful- great location and close to downtown. Definitely recommend and will stay here again.
The property was so nice for what I was looking for. A place closer into Houston, but quiet and relaxing. The space was so beautiful and clean. I will for sure recommend others to stay here and hopefully I will be too!
This was our second stay in this lovely home and we will be back. It is comfortable, spotless, and welcoming. Deborah and Anton are great hosts, going above and beyond. The floor plan is perfect for us and our adult son, and the location puts us near all the people and places we came to Houston to visit.
This lovely home is always our first choice when visiting Houston - comfy beds, spotless, great dining area that easily doubles as a spacious work station, two en-suite bathrooms, fully stocked kitchen, snacks and wine waiting for us, great location. I could go in and on.
We had a wonderful time in Houston and really enjoyed our stay! The apartment is lovely, very clean and has lots of thoughtful extra touches. Easy parking right outside the door. We felt safe and comfortable walking around the area. Highly recommend!
We really enjoyed this property. The owners were very helpful, the place was clean and well stocked, and the location was perfect for getting around town. Thank you for your great hospitality.
Deborah’s apartment was the perfect choice for us in Houston while I recuperated from surgery at MD Anderson. Well equipped kitchen, comfy bed. Comfortable furnishings, quiet and very walkable to wonderful restaurants. We did have a car but we felt very safe and walked around the neighborhood daily. I do recommend visiting the Art Museum which was close by.
We had such a wonderful stay in this adorable home. Perfect location. They provided all the comforts of a hotel stay including coffee, creamer, shower supplies etc that some vrbos omit. High end look and feel. 10/10 would be back! Thanks for having us :)
Deborah was a super host and her home is lovely. Instructions to check in were super easy and the house had everything we needed and then some snacks and water were most appreciated. We would definitely stay here again!
Such a warm, comfortable place for a relaxing weekend in Houston! The best kitchen we've had for a short term rental, quite well stocked!
Convenient location to venues and great restaurants!
Host has thought of every touch to make this a special place. The great reviews are well-deserved!
Well maintained old-style apartment. Reminds me of past times - but everything worked well. Looked just like the photos. Would recommend. Excellent communication (messaging) with the host. Easy to access. Parking on street a little challenging, but not a problem most of the time , especially after business hours. Nitas close to MD Anderson As I would have liked, but just had to allow more travel time
We loved Deborah and Anton's place. The location is perfect is you like to wander around and explore on foot, lots of cute shops and restaurants near by. Easy to drive to all the major attractions and shopping/restaurant districts. Highly recommend booking this home if you're looking for a place that has it all.
We are both professionals and have lived in Houston for almost 20 years. We love to travel, but we find comfort in returning to the peace and quiet of our home. We enjoy having dinner parties with friends, walking, reading, undertaking different projects around the house, meeting new people.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this duplex when we first visited it. We loved the light, the windows and the size and layout were perfect for us. Anton personally did most of the complete remodeling that we undertook while we lived in the upstairs apartment. It was a labor of love! We knew we wanted to live in an older home and preserve some bit of history in Houston. Van Buren is a calm street amid an increasingly bustling neighborhood. Most everything is within walking distance. We still live upstairs, but have lived in both units and love each for their own unique characteristics.
What makes this property unique
The aspects we love most about the downstairs unit that is available for booking are:
--high ceilings --spacious kitchen/breakfast nook --easy first-floor access --two bathrooms (one with tub and the other with shower) --view of backyard

English, French, Spanish, Russian
