The listing says sleeps 8 with four queen beds. The fourth queen bed is actually a mattress in the closet with no way to blow it up and no bedding. The place is dirty and unkept and had hairs on the sink, shower was gross, dust everywhere. The downstairs bedroom had two flat blanket like decorative pillows to sleep on. My daughter couldn't sleep because of how scared and gross it was. The downstairs bedroom had a window open with no covering and facing the street. I put some things I could find to try and cover it. When asked about the fourth bed, the response was that the listing was correct. My daughter and I had to scramble to find a new place to stay the second night. We all wanted to leave but the cost and availability of hotels last minute wasn't happening. We had to pack up, get an uber and go stay somewhere with an actual bed, where we felt safe. The others roughed it upstairs. I was super excited about what looked to be a cute little place. It wasn't. I do not recommend. The instagram light didn't work. Because it looked so gross and not clean, we bought our own plastic cups and left ice in the bag, just in case. The only good thing I can say is it is close to the convention center. Not a three minute walk as they describe but close: and if cleaned, had enough beds, proper bedding etc. it has potential but currently, choose another place or you will be moving in the middle of your stay,

Spent a long girls weekend in Houston for a concert and had the pleasure of staying at this property. Manny was very attentive and friendly, he was very responsive with questions and addressed any concerns we had regarding the property. We were able to utilize all amenities and Manny even had someone come by to show us how everything operated. We look forward to booking again at this location or any other places Manny has available.

The home welcoming and had tons of space. The bed in the master suite had broken slats that caused the mattress to sink in the middle. And we couldn’t get the oven to work but all in all it was a nice stay!

Misleading Listing and Poorly Maintained Property – Proceed with CautionI rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience warrants a clear warning. The listing for this condo is highly misleading. The photos appear outdated and do not reflect the current condition. Upon arrival, we found the unit dirty and neglected. Dust aggravated our allergies, cabinet knobs were missing, lightbulbs were out, and the neon sign didn’t work.The rooftop—one of the main reasons we booked—was unusable at night due to non-working lights. The furniture was nothing like the listing: no wicker couch or cushions, just a few cheap chairs. A rusted metal cactus posed a safety hazard. The speakers were distorted, and both the fire pit and grill were broken.Inside, the upstairs smelled stale, the AC filter was filthy, and the front gate code didn’t work. Kitchen cabinets were broken or missing handles. One bathroom was so poorly lit it was unusable unless the door stayed open. Shower curtains were old and stained, and ceiling repairs were left unfinished. The fireplace didn’t work, and most remotes were useless.Attempts to contact the host went unanswered. Several recent reviews claim the property is clean and well-maintained, which is simply false. They appear fabricated or posted by someone affiliated with the listing. This property is no longer maintained and borders on false advertising. I’m pursuing reimbursement and plan to report this to the BBB.

I wanted to love it so badly. We rented this place with beauty content creation in mind, as well as a safe space for my toddler to hang out with my mother while I attended a conference for a few days.I was disappointed. The pillows were dirty - we did get those replaced. The floor was dirty - the cleaner came, but told us the owner says they can only clean the floors with water. The mattress in one room was gross. There were unfinished areas in the house where some of the wall was exposed, lights didn't work, water had low pressure in some bathrooms, etc. We also saw some bugs crawling underneath the tile in the shower on the low level. I will say the owner did bring us new pillows, even after initially saying they would have to be ordered. He also sent the cleaner back out and send RAID spray. Between being unable to clean the floors with anything but water and the cleaner being unable to move any furniture (her words), the house was incredibly dusty. There were also random paint touch-ups that looked unfinished, the pig lights didn't work/plugs were broken, etc. Literally everything we rented the house for was not working or in good shape.The furniture in the living room is uncomfortable - we kept sitting down on the couch and hitting our tailbones on a bar. My mother, who has COPD, struggled the entire trip. There was a lot of dust under the bed, on top of the headboards, etc.I asked for a partial refund due to the place not being in good shape and was denied.

UNSETTLING

Made the best of an unfortunate situation. Looked forward to host our Houston/Florida family for an extended Father’s Day surprise…lounge on the rooftop, gather in the cool family room, play games and have a big family meal together. None of this happened. 1st encountered hot & humid rooms. We opted to lower the thermostat and wait for evening to see if house would cool down, we made due. That evening when we went to shower in the master bath, tile/drywall was an unfinished disaster and felt unsanitary. AC registers coated with grime and to top off that evening, we were woken when the head of the bed mattress was sinking and discovered that supporting bed slats had been destroyed and we turned and slept with our heads at the foot of the bed on an incline. Huge roach in downstairs bed/bath and kids didn’t want to stay over. Flying ants, several items in disrepair which left the home feeling unkept. Holes in doors, broken/missing door knobs, lose sink faucet in upstairs secondary bath, none of the lights were working at the top area and the fridge upstairs was broken. PM was very nice and did “offer” to send someone to look at the AC and fix the bed. Those items could’ve been hesitatingly overlooked, but the master bath condition was unacceptable and we actually bought shower shoes. No way tile & other would’ve been fixed in a weekend. With some concentrated efforts, the property could be like the photos describe, but it was a fail for us.

Nice place however very dated in my opinion. Zero communication with property manager I inbox twice, once trying to figure out how to open security gate, second request wife saw roaches in downstairs bathroom. My wife refuse to stay there afterwards and books room at the JW Marriott. This place is made for much younger folks, too many bars and very noisy area.

Enjoyed overall stay but a lot of areas where construction has started, stuff kind of all over. Not generous with towels. King bed needs a new mattress. Bed on first level is very squeaky. Never got the hot tub to warm up enough. Unique property, fun place, a lot of personality. Very clean.

Convenient to Downtown

We wanted to be in walking distance of the convention center, and this location was perfect. We found a great restaurant for breakfast (Leeland House) and went there every day. We also got pastries from Koffeteria which were astounding. The property was clean, and mostly as promised. I had read another review that gave me a clue as to how to open the gate to bring the car in; otherwise we would have been lost. We lost internet the first night and reached out to the owner, but never heard anything. It would have been nice to have dishtowels and hot pads in the kitchen and blow dryers in every bathroom, but we made it work. If you want a lively nightlife, this is for you. Many bars and beer gardens in the neighborhood. Overall experience was good.

The "Flying Pig"...lol... was genuinely amazing! The location was even better. Everything we did was within walking distance, and parking was plentiful. I even met the owner of the bar across the street. When he realized we were Veterans, he treated us like royalty. Every level of the house surprised us, and each was just as enjoyable as the next level. The rooftop gave us a view and great conversation. However, we could not use the stove, and the master bedroom TV was never turned on. Plus there was a lot of dust underneath the furniture etc. But I would stay again and recommend it over and over again! As they say, "when pigs fly"...but you don't have to wait to have a great time.

The place was not far from a lot of bars and the places we did go were short Uber rides away . The house is as pictured . Only complaint is cleanliness , 3 roaches were spotted . The hot tub was filthy and one of the beds did not have clean sheets . The floors were dusty and it just felt like it hadn’t been cleaned before our stay. Would book again if properly cleaned and exterminator for roaches.

Nice dusty house

Overall the house was nice and had what needed. However, the trash was overflowing outside, so we could not take out the trash. There is a fan in the living room, but we could not find the remote. The place could use a deep cleaning as there are chandeliers that have a lot of dust on them. The beds were not very comfortable. And the communication with the owner and the property manager were non existent. I messaged and called and never got any response from either. They could definitely do a better job moving forward for the amount of money you pay for they rentals.
