The house is cute and just as described. Everything was clean, and all basics (plus more) were provided. The backyard is big and a great place to have coffee each morning. Would stay here again.

Christmas Vacation
The house was clean. The furniture, linens and kitchen ware are at minimum standards. Probably ok for a night or two, but inadequate for any longer. The neighborhood is loud; dogs, train, traffic, etc. lots of fireworks on Christmas Eve. Walking our dog was dangerous business as there were so many off leashpets running around.

Good time in Houston
This was a very clean and cozy property. It was near the highway and stores to be able to get what we need for our stay and get around town.
The private yard was really nice to relax. The dogs next door barking at each other made for a bit of a tough night. Not sure if the main bedroom has a queen bed or something smaller. Still was ok, but not as expected.
Left a sweet bread on the counter for breakfast and woke up to an ant party inside the bad. No idea where they came from since the place looked immaculate.
The owner was super responsive in all communications. Thanks a lot for the stay and use of your place.

Fantastic little place for a weekend trip
First the ease of speaking with the owner was great. Super responsive. We showed up about 15 minutes before check-in after driving from dallas with two dogs and the code he sent me had not gone into effect yet. I called to see if we could get in early and he unlocked the house right away for us. Second perfect little house for a weekend stay, for a much better price than a hotel. Neighboorhood is somewhat rough. There are nice houses and then across the street could be a not as nice house but such is the case when staying near downtown Houston. No one bothered us and we were not fearful at all but dont be surprised as you are driving in. The house itself is perfectly fine.

Cozy Bungalow for 2 plus pet
Bungalow was very clean and yard was nice for a pet. Interior and furniture were in good condition. AC & fans good. Kitchen supplies ok but additional plates would be nice. Suggest grab bars in bathroom and hand rails on front porch. Location is convenient near loop 610 but neighborhood could be called "urban pioneer in transition" with old and new houses and narrow streets.

Houston Bungalow
House was super clean and host had fabulous communication. Very cute inside. Mattresses were SOOO clean and comfortable, a tad on the firm side but not terrible. Loved the backyard. Kitchen had very minimal cookware. I had to go to store to purchase a larger skillet because the ones that were there were to small.
To me the description talking about the location being in Heights neighborhood made me feel like it would be a very nice neighborhood and it was not the best. We felt uncomfortable with the surroundings. There are nice townhouses across the street but the houses around were very run down with a lot of junk and debris around. Gated doors and windows etc. Though it was very quiet (other than the occasional train). The house and host were amazing, the neighborhood was less than anticipated.

Heights House
This is a well-kept, nicely furnished house in a super convenient location. We were visiting places downtown and in the Heights and we were a very few minutes from our destinations. It had everything we needed to stay for three days, even a fully-fenced, pretty back yard with tree frogs singing in the evenings. We will certainly visit again.

Houston Fam Wedding
The bungalow was as described except there was no spa/whirlpool (and we did not expect one). All in all a good experience! Good A/C. Nice to have the yard with our pups. Looked to be newly readied for VRBO and having sustained some flooding? Needs more window coverings to block out light from street in front bedroom and windows on side front. Towel bars, nightstand and lamps with bulbs would be great. Something going on under kitchen sink on disposal side? Coffee maker was not cleaned after last use. One neighbor's house looked questionable but both sides neighbor people were very friendly. Thank you!

Clean, nice little house
The property was so tidy and functional. It is an old house, and my mind wandered to how much history that house must have seen—especially with only two bedrooms and one bath. As someone who raised 5 kids, I pictured the pride of the very first owners when they bought that house and filled it with children and how spoiled we are with such extravagant space today.
Anyway, we loved it! The one recommendation I have is to put several HOOKS in each bedroom and in the bathroom for towels. We didn’t know where to put our wet towels since there aren’t any towel bars in the bathroom. One person draped them over the washer/dryer in the kitchen and another over the shower rod and another over a chair.

The bungalow was perfect for me and my family. Easy to check in and received clear instructions for entering the home. The two bedrooms provided ample space. The house was very clean and had plenty of towels and washcloths. We also traveled with our dog, who loved the fenced in backyard. The location is ideal and allows easy access to the Heights and major freeway.

Last Minute
We booked last minute for a trip to the CFP Championship. Place was in a perfect spot for us, the neighborhood is in the midst of redevelopment, with large modern places replacing the more historic properties as is happening in most major cities. Quiet area and about 20 minutes to everything we wanted to do - which is saying something with Houston traffic. The place is older, but has been updated. Perfect for two brothers in their 30s to work and have a home base, and get out to explore the city. Really happy with the place and would stay again.

The Best Respite!
Having just lost my mother, I needed a place to get away and reconnect with myself. Friends suggested a quick getaway and provided an airline ticket to Houston. I was not up to seeing anyone or wanting to be around numerous individuals. They found and suggested this quaint VRBO.
It was perfect! The cleanliness and design of the unit were as described. The neighborhood was quiet and near grocery stores. It was just what I needed, I will seek this out on a return trip to Houston.
