Charming second floor apartment in historic neighborhood
My spouse and college-aged daughter and I enjoyed spring break here. It was close to Buffalo Bayou for walks along the water, and an easy walk to POST, not far from downtown. Beds were comfortable and we slept well. One must walk through the smaller bedroom to get to the larger bedroom, but that worked fine for us. There were no windows in the bedrooms, which felt unusual, but we didn't need sleep masks! Heating/AC worked great. Host was very responsive and informative.
