Lovely home, very cozy
Tiffiny was very responsive and helpful in her communication.
The home is lovely and spacious - very comfortable! It was quiet and easy to get to several main areas of Houston.
While we didn’t find a lot of walkable businesses nearby, there’s a lovely trail that goes through a college campus. The rooftop deck and this walking path made for a peaceful way to start our mornings.

Birthday trip
The check in process went very smoothly and was able to pay extra for early check in which was perfect for us because of our early arrival. We had issues with the Roku on the tv but we figured it out. The house was clean and smelled fresh. The location of the property was near everything we had planned to do which was perfect. I would book again in the future.

Would have been 5 stars
Beautiful place with very comfortable beds and furniture. The only issue was that it took 11 hours for Tiffiny to turn on the heat after my request. It would have been more comfortable if we had control of our temperature.

40th Birthday Trip
We were 3 couples who came to Houston to celebrate a 40th Birthday. This location met our expectations plus more. Every place we went was within 15 mins of the home. It’s really in a central location and easy access to everything. The home was beautiful and exactly how advertised. Ms. Tiffiny was attentive and quick to respond to any questions we had. We will definitely stay again on our next trip.

Nothing Short of Amazing!
This was one of the best properties I’ve ever stayed at! The host made the process so smooth & was so accommodating. The check in process was simple and the house was GORGEOUS! Super spacious & luxurious. The pictures don’t do it justice! The location is super close to everything and there are two bars in walking distance from the home. I literally have no complaints and I’m hoping I can book this property each time I visit Houston! THANK YOU!

Perfect for us
This townhouse was perfect for us because it was close to our family that we were visiting. It was very clean and nicely decorated. The beds were very comfortable. There was plenty of toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags. The property manager, Tiffiny, even checked in with us to make sure we were settling in. She always replied quickly to any questions I had. We would definitely stay there again.
