Central location, has everything that you need

The property was accurately described in the listing. The home was modern, spacious and had all of the amenities that one would need to have an enjoyable stay (ROKU, fast wifi, comfortable beds). The location was essentially seconds from the highway, which made it easy to travel to and a good home base to see Houston. Overall, we were happy with our stay and would certainly recommend.

Great location!

Extending family in Houston for a wedding. The 8 bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for our large family. Had some initial concerns about travel between rehearsal/wedding/reception sites but the central location made it easy to transport our group between venues. Lots of space and much quieter than one would expect being so close to I-10.

Great place for extended family to stay for a wedding

We were a multi-generational extended family group in Houston for a wedding. The house was wonderful and worked very well for us with its location, convenience to the highway and shopping (like groceries and Walmart), multiple kitchens, private bedrooms and bathrooms and laundry facilities. Our group had four cars and parking was fine. We would stay here again.

Family reunion

There were family from several states in for a wedding and it was great to be able to stay together. We loved that each room had its own bathroom. The one thing that bothered me was fi ding dark black hair on the bathroom floor. That’s a pet peev of mine and grossed me out. The one freezer didn’t didn’t work but that wasn’t a problem as we had the second one. Overall it was great.

THIS PROPERTY ENDS YOUR SEARCH!!

It's never fun orchestrating a trip for a large party (17 people) because we all know how picky one can be about living arrangements. This property checked EVERY box for the party. All rooms were approximately the same size, so no worries about who has the "better" room. Very rarely do you find 8 bedrooms with their own bathrooms. If you can find one, it is even more rare that it'll be 1 min away from the main highway. Everything was perfect. Perfect mixture of space to gather and space to enjoy privacy! Farah was great. Responded promptly to all messages/questions I had for her. Book now!!!

Perfect for our Needs

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The property manager was a dream to work with. We had two minor issues, one was a leak under a sink and missing silverware and it was taken care of very quickly. I liked that the property was simple and sleek - meaning not a lot of extra fuss (decorations, etc). With all bedrooms occupied, no one had any issue with the hot water and everyone was able to shower without much coordination. Do note that the property might consider adding some luggage racks. The kitchen was well stocked and made having breakfast, making a sack lunch and zipping off to the convention center a breeze. Depending on the traffic there was multiple ways to get to George R. Brown and even in high traffic it was only about 17 minutes (about 8 without traffic). The washer and dryer came in very handy as well. And were so quiet. The adults thought the furniture was not the most comfortable but the teens in our group LOVED the couch and chairs. The property is at the edge of an up and coming area although the Psychic next door caused us all some "pause," it was not an issue just funky, and it is right next too the freeway - which for travel was awesome, aesthetics not so much. But surprising very little traffic noise inside the house. This property is less were less than a mile from Sprouts, Target, Walmart, and a variety of easy to pick up food places. Oh and VooDoo Donuts!!!! I would happily rent from this host again and happily rent this home again. For those confused where which rooms are let me help a little: First Floor - 1 king room - 1 queen room 2nd Floor 4 rooms all kings 3rd Floor 2 rooms - both double queens and a little sitting area. Since our students were all keeping up on their studies and preparing for the competitions the simple desks worked great. And I don't know how they did it but there was virtually no noise from each room when the doors were closed. This made for good sleeping for everyone. Loved this property and would recommend and would rent again. Thank you.
