I had a wonderful stay in Houston thanks to this host. The house was absolutely accommodating and perfectly stocked. Close to the hotspots, everything we wanted to do on our trip was within 15 minutes. The interior of this house was a stunning, moody, eclectic vibe. I absolutely will be searching for their other properties the next time I plan a trip.
