We had a great week staying with family for the holidays. The condo was bright, spacious, and clean. We especially enjoyed gathering around the dining table with family for holiday meals then removing the top to play pool after dinner. The roof deck was a nice place to hang out as well. The host was very responsive. The location was convenient, a short drive to good restaurants, museums, and parks.

We had a group of 10 friends and this was one of only a few spots we could find that had 10 individual beds. The main floor with kitchen and living room and the rooftop were great spaces to hang out in the evenings. The beds were very comfortable. We were a quick uber ride from anything we wanted to do downtown.

Birthday weekend

The property is beautiful. It offers a lot to a larger group as you can venture up and down the property. We had a dinner that was definitely enjoyed. Half my family karaoke on the second floor while some hung out on the roof top relaxing enjoying the air and city skyline. The rooms are good size and comfortable. Overall it is a really good place to stay, if in Houston on vacation.

35TH Birthday Trip

With this being a last minute stay due to our trip being cancelled to New Orleans, this house did not disappoint my group of 10. This house was absolutely amazing! The location was amazing, allowing us to get to everything we needed within 8 minutes or less. The host was great and very responsive! Overall, this place was really nice and we enjoyed all the things about the property; the skyline view, the space, and the location!

I truly enjoyed our stay and the location was amazing. Communication with the owners was very easy and they were responsive. Any issue I had they were quick to resolve. The home looks even bigger than in the pictures; they only thing I would say is make sure your party can walk lots of stairs. thanks for making my stay great!

Bach trip stay

Overall the stay was nice! There was technically enough space to accommodate 16 guests! Minor issues where that there were not enough towels for 16 guests so bring your own! And that the pull out couch is broken and being “held up” with duct tape so not the most comfortable rest. Other than that I definitely recommend this spot! Close to pretty much everything downtown. Check in was easy! The place is well kept!
