It's not bad...

I thought quite a bit about leaving this review, and I landed on '"have to". Our stay wasn't bad but the price did not match what we got.The property is in an older neighborhood but not a bad one. The house is neat and organized, but I would give the overall cleanliness a 7/10. The house was pretty old and dated. The floors we're dirty my kids feet were dirty after only walking around for a little bit. A cockroach also came out of the couch when I was sitting on it the first night we got there. That was the only sighting. This was not from keeping the door open or something like that since we immediately closed the door each time because of the mosquitos everywhere.The beds and bedding were clean, the bathrooms were also mostly clean. 9/10 there.I think it being a little more clean would definitely help and maybe some updated furniture in the living room would also help. Checking in and out were very easy and the host was very professional and polite.I probably wouldn't stay here again, at 350 dollars per night for a family of 5 I would probably stay elsewhere. If I was staying alone or as a couple it would probably be okay.

Clean, comfy, everything you need

We had a clean and comfy stay in this property. Everything we needed was in there (coffee, cutlery, towels, etc). The place was clean and the beds are soft, equipped with nice linens and pillows. The host was very responsive. We had an easy check-in and check-out. Few minutes drive to NASA Johnson Space Centre. Easy drive from IAH airport using freeways and tollways. Costco and several restaurants and shops in the area. Quiet and safe neighborhood. It was a lovely stay! I’d recommend this property!

Space City Getaway

The location was very convenient and a quick drive to the Houston Space Center. The home was updated, nicely decorated, and comfortable for our family. The hosts were very helpful and friendly! Upon arriving, we didn't know we were supposed to check the VRBO app again for an updated code, but we were able to speak directly to the host. Our only concern was that the cleaning agents used on the floors left a very strong sweet, floral smell, almost as if it was covering up something else, especially in the Master Bedroom. That being said, we would recommend this home to others.

Great place to stay!

Our family of 5 stayed here in March 2024. The property owner had great communication and was very accommodating. The inside of the home appeared to be recently remodeled and was very clean. The location was close to the airport and all of the attractions we slanted to see (space center, Kemah boardwalk, Galveston, zoo, etc). Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Additionally, the house was clean and well-equipped with most of the things we needed for our stay. The owner was readily available and very friendly. I highly recommend this property.

Sweet home on beautiful corner lot.

Very quiet neighborhood. Close to NASA- 12 min away, the mall and grocery shopping- 7 minutes, Kemah, and close to hobby airport. Easy access. Very nicely remodeled and updated. We only stay in places with a king bed and this one had it. We had to cook for Thanksgiving and this place had pots.
