Retiree Respite
We stay in many vrbo rentals since 2010. Many in Houston. This is by far the cleanest, most pristine yet! The furniture is sturdy, new & well kept. The bedding is immaculate & fresh. The kitchen, contrary to other reviews of this home, well appointed, plenty of cooking necessities, pans, etc.There is another unit above this one, which, depending on the guests, we were able to hear them walk around, not unlike many hotels or multi-unit homes. The shower is great, partially enclosed, ala many newly renovated ‘spa’ bath rooms. Water splashing onto the floor was not an issue. I can see, with kiddos, how it might be.We recommend this rental for adult couples and/or with quieter, older kids.Parking was not an issue, whether in the driveway or on the street!

I stayed for the weekend with my family, and we have four young kids. This house was okay to stay in for the weekend, but I probably wouldn’t stay here again. The house is well decorated and looks beautiful, it’s not very practical. It’s and old house that is recently renovated. If you have more than one car and the other renters in the building have multiple vehicles, parking will be difficult. The walls are thin so being on the bottom floor, we could hear almost every step from our upstairs neighbors. The shower is pretty but just not practical, it really needs a sliding door and a normal shower head so the entire bathroom floor doesn’t fill with water. The ice maker in the fridge doesn’t work so be prepared to buy ice. There are no normal cups to drink out of, just wine glasses which wasn’t ideal for little kids. The beds weren’t comfortable at all. If you’re planning on cooking, be aware that there’s no pans that can go in the oven. The kitchen sink doesn’t get hot (luckily it was just the sink, the shower heat was fine). At night, there’s flood lights in the house that are very bright and there’s no curtains, so it was tough to sleep. And lastly, the cowboy pool in the back isn’t really a pool — it’s just a stock tank full of water with no pump. It was super hot so we didn’t actually get to use it. Like I said, this house is cute & close to a lot which is great, and the host communicated a lot and wasn’t overbearing which was nice, but it’s just not a practical house.

This home was beautifully decorated and clean. The outdoor area in the back was an added bonus ( wish they had sprayed for mosquitoes) my only complaint was the shower,

No Complaints - could be better
Everything was great about the property, cleanliness and the owner was super responsive. There’s a charcoal grill - no charcoal, no lighter. Laundry in unit, no detergent to wash clothes. Dishwasher - no pods (they did say they could drop some off) Pots and pans we wanted to use were dirty. Great spot for a quick trip, but you’ll need to buy “stuff” to use any amenities to cook or clean.

Good location if you’re going to NRG
We had a nice stay! The space was comfortable, and the location was great. Coffee shops, groceries and food are available within 10min drive.One thing to note is that extra supplies like towels and toilet paper are available upon request but weren’t mentioned in the listing or check-in details. It would be helpful for future guests to have this information upfront.Overall, the host was responsive, and we appreciated the effort put into the space.

50th Birthday Celebration
We had a wonderful time in the house. Everything is very clean and decorated nicely. If I were to have one thing that has negative feedback is the outlay of the shower. It causes the floor to get really wet unless you back into a corner of the shower. Cool concept, just not super practical. The back patio area is fantastic. We were disappointed that the weather was not forgiving enough to enjoy. Our host is very responsive and kind. We had a perfect weekend. .

House rental
It was a nice staty. However it needs a better cleaning. Also when it came to cooking there is no pans for the oven. So I couldn't physically cook a meal unless it was stove top. No toaster so I couldn't toast waffles or toast for my kid's. Area However was quiet. Most of the housewaa clean.

Good Location, Comfortable Stay, and Friendly Host
I stayed here with a group of friends for one night to be close to the area where we were celebrating my birthday. The host was extremely friendly and responded to all of my questions quickly, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. The home was just as pictured—very clean and welcoming. The beds, as well as the sofa bed, were comfortable enough for a good night’s rest.Although the weather didn’t cooperate (it was cold and rainy), we didn’t get to use the backyard, but it looked like a really cute space we would have enjoyed had the weather been nicer.Check-in and check-out were easy, and everything was in order. One thing I would note is that the property is a duplex, so parking can get a little tricky if multiple cars are involved, especially if you're sharing the space with other guests. Additionally, if you're staying in the first-floor unit, the floors are pretty thin, so you might hear sounds from above like heavy walking or loud music. It wasn’t a big issue for us, but something to be aware of.Overall, I had a great stay and would recommend it for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-located spot!
