Great Location
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The house was extremely comfortable and the host was amazing. We really enjoyed the access to amenities. The neighborhood is a great place to walk, and if you like to get out, you can easily walk to for a meal or just take a stroll through the neighborhood.

Houston Bungalow Bliss
The Comfy & Quiet Bungalow was delightful! My husband and I stayed for a month. The neighborhood is super quiet and yet walkable to coffee shops, restaurants, etc. the neighborhood has lots of trees and sidewalks good for strolling or walking a dog. The home is well appointed with everything you could need in the kitchen and convenient touches throughout such as places to hang coats, towels, mobile device chargers and an in home stereo system. The outdoor space is super good too--a private back deck/patio with a gas grill, fire pit and large patio table for dining. The home also has a private side yard with cafe tables. The beds were very comfy. There was a business nook in the kitchen and I used it almost every day to work from home. Last, but not least, our hosts were super friendly and very responsive to any questions we had. We have stayed in 3 VRBOs in Houston and this is home is our favorite. We will definitely stay here again!

A total gem!
This place is settled perfectly in a beautiful neighborhood! So much private outdoor space that my dogs absolutely loved! The interior is decorated and tech wired phenomenally! The entire stay was so homey and comfortable, we didn’t want to leave! Hosts are amazing and provide all the necessities plus some! Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! The fur babies loved it as did the human guests!

Perfect Little Bungalow!
Jonathon is a very gracious host. Anything you need or have questions about he is immediately available. We needed a place to stay for a month when our house sold quickly. This was a perfect interim space to stay. Great location with easy access to freeway and walkable to the park. It is very dog friendly and has a great front patio. We can't thank Jonathon enough for being so wonderful!

Perfect home away from home!
We had a wonderful time staying in Gingerbread Casa over the holidays, for a full 2 months. Our hosts couldn't have been more gracious and helpful, and the house itself is equipped with all anyone could need even for such a lengthy stay. The location is ideal, in the midst of the charming and historic Woodland Heights area, within easy walking distance of dozens of shops, restaurants, parks, and other attractions, and just a short drive to downtown and Houston's wonderful museums. We plan on returning soon and can't imagine staying anywhere else!

The owner was extremely easy to get ahold of, communicate with and went out of his way to ensure our stay was perfect! I travel often and have stayed at many places but this home was my favorite! I had an extensive surgery while I was there and had to walk daily - the neighborhood is safe and beautiful for walks! You will love this Houston home!

Excellent Experience
This property is within a nice safe neighborhood, this is our first experience with using VBRO and we not have been more pleased. We had just a couple of questions and the manager responded immediately. If you need to travel to Houston we would highly recommend this property. It was within walking distance of a store and coffee shop and the area itself had many interesting individually owned restaurants. It was within a couple of miles of downtown. When we return to Houston we will check to see if this property is available. Felt like home away from home with so many amenities including a full kitchen washer and dryer and anything you could ever need. Highly recommend.
