Deborah is an amazing host. Her “refuge in Montrose” was impeccable and she had everything so welcoming for us when we arrived. We loved her home and the location was perfect for us. Dining, walkable, easy access to highways and the parks. Very safe neighborhood. Highly recommend this property and if we have the opportunity, we will definitely stay here again.

We’ve stayed in this lovely home away from home several times now, and it never disappoints. The space is spotless, cozy, and perfectly located close to everything in Houston. Deborah truly goes above and beyond—her thoughtful touches and warm communication make us feel welcomed every time. It’s the perfect little hideaway, and we’re always happy to return.
