Overall property was a nice place to stay. The surrounding neighbourhood is being regentrified so there was lots of construction going on and often piles of garbage left on the curbs. The suite itself was nice and clean. We did have some issues getting the A/C units to regulate resulting in some extreme temperatures. The host was quick to respond to messages. All and all would stay again.

Cozy, Convenient and Well priced
My teenage son and I stayed here for the World Robotics competition held at the convention center. It was a 6-8 minute drive to a parking lot that was a 5 minute walk - most parents paid 2-6 times what we did to get there in the same amount of time. We also spent a day at the Natural Science museum and it was a quick drive there as well. Although we were away most of the day, it was a lovely place to come back to in the evening and we always felt safe - even on late nights after 9 or 10. Plenty of hot water (we both take long showers) and having separately controlled AC in all of the rooms was lovely. Angelina was a great host! My son asked if we could stay here again next year.

Decent but needs some love.
There's a whole genre of rentals where the owner bought it and/or rehabbed it and hasn't reinvested any money or effort into it since. This is one of those rentals. The place is in a convenient area and it's a pretty nice unit, but it needs some love. The floors were installed without proper subflooring so in various spots the floor sinks in like you're going to fall into a hole. The blinds are pretty ragged and they're white so the Houston sun really heats up the unit and will wake you up as soon as it rises. One of the chairs had legs that were falling off (just toss it) and the other one had stains all over it. The tub and trim outside the tub all needs recaulked because it's falling apart. I pulled enough lint out of the dryer vent to fill a jacket (not sure if it had ever been emptied). No lamps in the living room so it's full blast ceiling or nothing. Chandelier missing bulbs and other bulbs mismatched. Lack of basics like paper towels, laundry soap, etc. Again, not a bad place but with a few quick repairs and reinvesting basically what I alone paid for a rental fee, this place could be back to pretty much perfect. VRBO please let guests upload pics.

Better than a motel
This is your standard B/C tier rental property. It is a great price, and you get what you pay for. The house was clean upon arrival except for the comforters which were clearly not washed from the last guest, but we tossed them in the washer and dryer, and the host was quick to offer us a brand new one. There were used contact lenses in the bathroom drawer, but again not really the hosts problem. Our big issue was when we realized the AC unit in one of the bedrooms was not blowing cold air. We arrived on a cool day and didn't notice the AC issue until we got back to the house on our second afternoon as it was quite a bit hotter outside than when we arrived. The host was very quick to respond, but was not able to get someone out to fix the problem because it was 4pm on a Saturday. She repeatedly told me that if I had reported the issue sooner she could have had someone fix it, but of course we reported the issue as soon as we discovered it, the timing just happened to be unfortunate. VRBO told me that this issue has been noted on her account 2 previous times, dating back to 2021, so it is clearly a chronic issue that has not been fixed. The host refunded us for one night since we were not able to tolerate the heat and had to seek other accommodations. If you have high standards and want to feel overly safe in the neighborhood, I would avoid this rental. If you're in town for an event and just need a cheap place to lay your head, this will suffice.

Wedding Trip to Houston
The home is exactly as pictured and close to many attractions. We really enjoyed our stay.. Angelina was nice enough to let us check in early and very responsive to any questions we had. This did not affect our stay, but just a few suggestions: curtains to block the sunlight for those that like to sleep in later, and a sitting area in the backyard would be nice. FYI: the ac in the bedroom to the right of the bathroom didn't seem to get real cool. Overall, the home is beautifully renovated and we loved it! Thank you for having us!!

Houston stay
Cute apartment, but not a great area. The apartment was not adequately stocked for 4 guests. Three bath towels, two washcloths and half a roll of paper towels. We hand washed all of the dishes because the dishwasher had mold in it and smelled bad. The air conditioner in one of the bedrooms barely worked.

Cozy Getaway!
This property was very clean, had amenities that were suitable to our needs. We were a group of 3 and truly enjoyed our stay. Additionally - We were able to relax and do some shopping in nearby shopping areas. We prepared snacks/foods in the home to be able to do more day activities in Houston. Thank you management for your prompt responses to our questions.

Great place to stay with easy access to all of Houston.
I had to come into Houston for training for my new job and apartment searching. This Vrbo was close to everything I needed. The house was very nice on the inside, I loved it. We had the entire downstairs to ourself and another tenant had the upstairs with another entrance so we never even saw them. I would most definitely come back to visit if I was not moving to the city.
