The location was convenient for visiting with nearby family. The neighborhood was lovely with many charming older homes and large trees. Our downstairs apartment was comfortable and pleasant. The kitchen is small but provided everything that we needed. The bathroom could use renovation, as the shower functions poorly. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely place, located in a wonderful neighborhood. The weather was perfect; the azaleas were starting to bloom. The place is a short neighborhood walk to a nice coffee shop, Rice University, and Hermann Park. We were back in Houston to see the rodeo, and it is also a super convenient short drive to NRG stadium. Jessica was a very responsive host for whatever questions we had about the place. Would definitely consider coming back the next time we are in Houston.

The place is super cute and in a very nice neighborhood! Communication was quick amd easy with the owner, and we couldnt have been happier with the stay. The construction wasnt an issue, and not overly noticable inside. Would highly reccomend!!!

Gorgeous neighborhood, I enjoyed walking around for exercise and looking at the houses. It is close to Rice Univ, which is why we were there. Close to Museum District. It is the cleanest short-term rental we've ever stayed in. Plenty of room in this first-floor apartment. I worked remotely while we were there. There is a small office which worked perfectly for zoom calls. Internet was fast and consistent. Host was very helpful and available. Our plane was delayed and we arrived at 3am. Exhausted after a terrible day of travel, I couldn't get the lock box open, and she answered my text at 3am to help. As another review stated, there is a 20-story building being constructed in the back yard. Construction started precisely at 7am. This wasn't a problem for us since we were up. I was still able to work with what noise there was. However, if you are super sensitive to noise, you may want to see if this has been completed. It is a charming older house in a gorgeous old neighborhood. If you appreciate vintage houses and their quirky charms, you will love it.
