The apartment was more than we could have hoped for! It was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay in Houston. Our hostess was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. She even left a handwritten note and a lovely welcome gift, which made the experience feel extra special. We truly felt at home and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Deborah is an amazing host. Her “refuge in Montrose” was impeccable and she had everything so welcoming for us when we arrived. We loved her home and the location was perfect for us. Dining, walkable, easy access to highways and the parks. Very safe neighborhood. Highly recommend this property and if we have the opportunity, we will definitely stay here again.

We’ve stayed in this lovely home away from home several times now, and it never disappoints. The space is spotless, cozy, and perfectly located close to everything in Houston. Deborah truly goes above and beyond—her thoughtful touches and warm communication make us feel welcomed every time. It’s the perfect little hideaway, and we’re always happy to return.

Fantastic stay for a week

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.
