House was great! Plenty of space. Host communicated properly. Minor notice the washer and dryer are not working properly. Tried using on last night and washer didn’t spin and dryer make a loud noise. Overall the place was great and I usually don’t have to wash but needed clothes for plane ride. I would stay again.

Great Location and clean house

Me and a few friends stayed here for the College Football Championship Game. The house was in a great location for Houston and in a very quiet safe neighborhood. Its walking distance of a brand new convenient store that had everything you could need. It was also very clean and matched the description completely. Definitely would stay here again if I'm ever back in Houston

Great property in near downtown Houston

My friends and I enjoyed our time in this spacious home. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood that’s walking distance to a cool bar and less than a five minute drive to downtown Houston. The host was accommodating and response, leaving very thorough instructions for entering the home and other things. I’d definitely recommend and would return one day!
