Great place!
This lovely home is always our first choice when visiting Houston - comfy beds, spotless, great dining area that easily doubles as a spacious work station, two en-suite bathrooms, fully stocked kitchen, snacks and wine waiting for us, great location. I could go in and on.

Another great stay!
This was our second stay in this lovely home and we will be back. It is comfortable, spotless, and welcoming. Deborah and Anton are great hosts, going above and beyond. The floor plan is perfect for us and our adult son, and the location puts us near all the people and places we came to Houston to visit.

Spacious, Comfy and Relaxing
Deborah’s apartment was the perfect choice for us in Houston while I recuperated from surgery at MD Anderson. Well equipped kitchen, comfy bed. Comfortable furnishings, quiet and very walkable to wonderful restaurants. We did have a car but we felt very safe and walked around the neighborhood daily. I do recommend visiting the Art Museum which was close by.

Fantastic Experience
This is basically the perfect rental experience. I visited Houston with my brothers for a weekend trip to watch baseball, and the host responded immediately to my booking. She then followed up as the trip got closer to let me know when to expect check in details and then followed through on that with everything we would need. The check in was incredible easy and the place is exactly as described, super clean and with two huge bedrooms. The dining and living areas were spacious and comfortable, and the kitchen had everything you would need. The host had left a personalized note and a bottle of wine for us, and then messaged appropriately during the weekend to ensure things were going smoothly and inform us of checkout process. We tidied up a bit, but there was none of the pages of rules you come to expect from a rental - just drop the keys and they take care of the laundry and such. The neighborhood is also fantastic, and the apartment is walking distance from some fantastic restaurants, and Montrose as a neighborhood is as close to everything you would want to do as you can expect in Houston. If you drive, there is parking right outside the unit. Everything about this was ideal and I will definitely book here again for future trips.

New home away from home
A friend and I stayed for a long weekend in this beautiful home. The home had today’s modern conveniences, but kept the charm of a 1930-40 bungalow. Beautiful wood floors look original, and had an updated small kitchen overlooking the charming garden. There was plenty of room for two and would be good for two couples. We ate at a great restaurant just steps away, and were so close to Rice Univ and the Montrose area. The host was more than nice and helpful. Never had to wait for a response. Even helped to carry our bags out. This will be our go-to stay in Houston from now on.

Long weekend in Houston
Took my 92 years old father to Houston to see his granddaughter for Easter weekend. Anton met us upon arrival at night with the property well lit, helping us get settled. We were greeted with a bottle of wine, fruit, water, snacks, as well as a personal note. The property was well stocked with bath towels and toiletries. Deborah communicated well throughout the entire process. The neighborhood is walkable to many great restaurants and coffee shops. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

A Home Away from Home
We enjoyed our 4 night stay in this very comfortable and spacious townhouse in Montrose. The location is excellent, within walking distance to several restaurants and supermarkets. The very well equipped kitchen provided us with everything we needed to cook a delicious dinner which we enjoyed in the attractively furnished dining room. An ideal home away from home.

A home from home in Montrose
This felt like home from the minute we stepped in. We then saw the welcoming flowers, snacks, fruit and bottle of wine in the fridge. The apartment feels calm and stylish, is spacious and cozy with lovely corners to sit in, was so comfortable and had everything we needed and a place for everything The patio area was delightful to be in and look out on. The location was perfect with shops and restaurants nearby, lovely tree-lined streets to walk in and close to all the places we wanted to go to and people we wanted to see. Deborah was a charming host, gave us all the information we needed, was responsive and the check in and check out were flawless. We will make this our home again on our visits to Houston. Thank you Deborah.

My husband, my adult son, and I enjoyed 10 days in this lovely rental. The property description is right on. Parking was surprisingly easy. The house was clean and comfortable. Deborah was so thoughtful - a bottle of wine and treats were left for us and her husband even asked if we needed to borrow anything from them to prepare our Thanksgiving meal. We are already looking forward to our next stay.
