The property was so nice for what I was looking for. A place closer into Houston, but quiet and relaxing. The space was so beautiful and clean. I will for sure recommend others to stay here and hopefully I will be too!

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.

We had such a wonderful stay in this adorable home. Perfect location. They provided all the comforts of a hotel stay including coffee, creamer, shower supplies etc that some vrbos omit. High end look and feel. 10/10 would be back! Thanks for having us :)

Fantastic stay for a week

We loved Deborah and Anton's place. The location is perfect is you like to wander around and explore on foot, lots of cute shops and restaurants near by. Easy to drive to all the major attractions and shopping/restaurant districts. Highly recommend booking this home if you're looking for a place that has it all.

Remembering the past

Well maintained old-style apartment. Reminds me of past times - but everything worked well. Looked just like the photos. Would recommend. Excellent communication (messaging) with the host. Easy to access. Parking on street a little challenging, but not a problem most of the time , especially after business hours. Nitas close to MD Anderson As I would have liked, but just had to allow more travel time
