Short stay before cruise
The location of this property is no less than amazing. We some up that morning and the ship was 2 1/2 blocks away. The property was nice and bright. The only downside i had was i informed them that i was traveling with a elderly man (my dad) and they put us in a unit with about 2 flights of stairs straight up. Once he got in we didn't want to bring him back down to tour the town

Nightmare
So overall it was not a great experience. I get to the property and there was no parking. I then found the correct door and there was 25 steps to get the the apartment. Okay no big deal. As soon as i walk into property it smelt like pee and mold. The floor was filthy! My kids feet got black from being there for 5 minutes. I could not set my twins on the floor. They did not have the travel crib and highchair there like requested when i booked. I tried to get my money back so we could go elsewhere. They kept saying the would call me back. Nobody ended up calling back. Communication was horrible. At this point i was just ready to shower my kids and feed them and get to bed. I drove for 14 hours and i just didnt know what else to do. They sent some cleaners by and they asked me what wasnt clean and such. They poured product on the floor and just mopped it around without a bucket of water. Just product. The walls were dirty. You can tell that place hasnt been properly cleaned in months. Then the back door has a crack when its closed and huge cockrochas come in! We were stuck there for a whole week! About 4 hours after check in they did bring a pack and play. It was set infront of the door. No knock or anything. I never ended up getting a highchair throughout the stay. It was horrible. Worst experience i have EVER had. Only good thing was the beds were clean and comfortable. Sink and appliances were clean. I ended up going out of pocket & buying stuff to clean the floor.

Disappointed
It took us a while to find the exact location. Do not feel our cars were safe, parked out in the area. You really should’ve warned us that there’s no elevator and how high the stairs were for us to get to the top. We had to take luggage in and we are in our 60s so it was very difficult. We saw roaches in the bathroom. And I woke up from sleeping in the king size bed with what I believe or spider bites. I had a total about six. and they drove me crazy itching for the first couple days on the cruise. And it was not clear what we were supposed to do with the trash. He said to take it out, but not where to throw it away? I’m certain you’re not expecting us to haul it in our car somewhere. We’re leaving on a cruise that morning. and finally every time I called the phone number to try to speak with someone because we were confused about some things no one ever answered.

Easter Getaway
Our family of 5 booked this rental for Easter weekend. The location downtown was nice but parking was tricky as there was limited street parking avaiable. We eventually found a parking spot about a block away and my husband was able to move the car closer to the rental late in the evening. The apartment is up a steep flight of stairs. Once we entered the apartment, is was just as pictured. The space is large and has all the items needed to prepare meals. It was extra nice that there were spices like salt, pepper and garlic available. When we arrived the rental had a terrible odor. We did purchase a room deodorizer at the grocery store because the smell was pretty strong. We opened the window in the living room and that helped. With the fans on and the window open for a few hours, the smell improved.As for the beds, I was very impressed with the mattress topper in the master bedroom. Very comfortable. Our kids also slept well in the bunks. We loved the look of the rental and it served as a perfect location for our family Easter. The location was quiet and felt safe. I would recommend to others traveling to Galveston.

Loved the historical aspect. Kids loved arcade games and bunk beds. Super spacious. Only issue was hearing lots of other people in apartments but just comes with the nature of loft life.

Location perfect for cruise
Lovely loft. However, recommend owner stock with some basics as without a car difficult on a Monday to find any place to buy cream or sugar for coffee. Have stayed in other vrbo's that are way better stocked. Also recommend that the corner ceiling in the bedroom be looked at for mold and leakage.. The the town.

Galveston Trip
The condo was very clean, nice, and aesthetic. It was very comfortable and had everything needed to enjoy the stay. Our family likes to take breaks and enjoy our room while on vacation, the nice tv’s and comfortable couch and room made that very enjoyable as well. A few downsides, but I wouldn’t say dealbreakers are that in order to get to the room you have a steep flight of stairs that were a bit difficult for my mother in law to get up and down. Parking was limited to the road out front, it wasn’t impossible to park, but the city signs make you think you need to move your vehicle. The checkin and checkout instructions seemed to be written for multiple properties and maybe didn’t pertain to the particular one we were staying in. Anywhere you stay there will be positives and negatives, but our overall experience was great.
