A very neat, clean, and beautifully decorated house conveniently located near the Galleria and all the places we planned to visit. The host was warm and communicative throughout. I would definitely return to this property on my next trip to Houston.

Worked for our dog but not for price
This house is nice and in a safe small neighborhood good for walking our dog. For a couple with a dog, it was overpriced. There was no internet, wifi, cable tv. The owner did quickly respond and give us a $100 credit.

Great Family Spot
David and Marian’s home has everything you need and is a mile from the Galleria. Despite the busy hustle and bustle of the area, the neighborhood is quiet and we felt safe. Being pet friendly, having a fenced in yard, ample parking, and a hot tub, you really cannot beat it.

Peaceful stay
This was a great home for visiting with my family. Everything was left clean and organized. The back yard was beautiful and a great place for the dogs to run around...location is near restaurants and shopping, too. I hope to stay here again on our next visit.

Great place
Checked in few hours early and charged extra $75 — even though we agreed to it seemed a little ridiculous as we left before 11 am and didn’t get money back
Seems like it should be a courtesy not an up charge if the place is ready
Otherwise place was good location and very nice
Would be helpful to have basic instructions for the place on counter such as Wi-Fi password, where garage door opener is, trash pickup etc

Definitely could have been better.
Owners need to invest in pest control. Were several roaches inside the house. Key pad instructions given were incorrect. Owner wanted their landscape people to come to the house during our stay and plant in the backyard. The outdoor space was one of the reasons we chose that property. We told them we didn't want them doing that, so they continued to drive by the property multiple times for the duration of our stay. Other than those issues, the stay was fine
