Beautiful vibrant property. Loved the colors and styles of the rooms, very comfortable for our group of three families visiting our kids at Rice. Excellent value for the price point. Host was responsive to our needs. Property has a bit of wear and tear (as you might expect in a rental) but it was very clean.

Do not recommend; needs major cleaning and care
I hate leaving bad reviews but feel obligated to on this one. Booked this place for a family reunion. Family travelled very far to Houston for an event. Upon checkin could not get in because codes given were not correct.The artistic design of the house is very cool, but the house needs major cleaning. There is a smell of cigarette smoke throughout the house, especially the living room. Furniture though cool was dirty and stained. Some pieces had a distinct, gnarly smell. Family spotted a couple LARGE cockroaches and ants during their stay in the kitchen. “That was the largest cockroach I’ve ever seen” is not what you want to hear when you’ve just booked a short term stay for your family that’s traveled from very far away. Some toilets only flushed when you took off the porcelain top and manually flushed from inside the tank. Several lightbulbs were burned out throughout the property. Kitchen disposal did not work. AC does not work well in all the bedrooms, especially the downstairs which is very important in Houston. Overall, property needed some serious cleaning and care before we arrived. Clearly has been used as a party house one too many times. Again I hate leaving bad reviews, but this place is certainly not cheap and my relatives were quit uncomfortable during their stay.

The house was so beautiful and fun! It was in a great neighborhood too. There were lots of lightbulbs out and doors & light switches that could use a scrubbing. The kitchen faucet was loose, as well. Other than that,we had such a wonderful time! The host was responsive and very kind.

Great Spot in Houston
We stayed in this townhouse over Thanksgiving. It was spotless, had great fun toys for kids (ours were ages 10-16), and we loved the colorful decor. They loved the giant chess and pool table! The location was excellent for the Science Museum/Rice U area (and near my family we were visiting). You could walk to fun shops and grocery if needed. (My kids were surprised to see no one walks anywhere in Houston!) We had some issues with the kitchen appliances, but the hostess went above and beyond to make sure our stay was wonderful. Thank you!!

Get Travelers/Damage insurance against theft etc
Although the property has some visible “photo ops” I would have traded all of that for cleanliness, working bathrooms, and a more interested & caring host. Not to mention the theft of forgotten AirPods that have disappeared from the home.
Emailed host a couple days into our stay advising her that 2 of 4 bathrooms had cold trickling water from the sinks AND SHOWERS. The the main floor living room bathroom toilet was running & upon arrival their were dirty bathrooms/kitchen & cockroaches in two different floors of the house. Her response after almost 24hrs was “thanks I’ll let the cleaning people know” I messaged her privately because I thought that would be a nicer approach than leaving a negative review. At minimal I would have expected an apology.
It actually wasn’t until we had our AirPods that were accidentally left and that obviously now been stolen, felt it necessary to leave an honest review. The day of departure I reached out again to the host letting her know the AirPods have been left at the house. We have the GPS tracking and could see them pinging there. I luckily live in the city as friends were visiting from out of state. I asked if I could stop by at 8:30 the next morning. She didn’t reply until next day after 8:30 & told me her cleaning crew wouldn’t be there until Mon (week after we checked out, weird). On Sun prior to her cleaning team that was “supposed to come” the AirPods pinged that they were taken out of the case & host has stopped responding.

Final Four Girl Trip
We loved our stay at this cozy place! We are four gals who love college hoops so we travel to see the Final Four yearly. This was a great place to hang out, eat, drink and relax. The home is very comfortable and each bedroom having its own bathroom is a definite plus! The decor is very cool and we loved the pool table at the top. The location was central to everywhere we wanted to go. Thank you Houston and Montrose for a very memorable stay!

Great stay in Houston
This was a clean, great place to stay. We came for a family wedding. My parents, brother, SIL, husband, kids and I all had plenty of space. Vanessa sent very detailed instructions prior to check in. Everything was as expected. She was readily available for the few questions we had during our stay. We would definitely stay here again next time we need to come to Houston. It felt like the type of home we would want to live in if we lived in a city.

Thanksgiving Holiday
We enjoyed our stay during the Thanksgiving holiday, we traveled to Houston from Dallas to stay in this beautiful townhome to enjoy holiday time with Family.
We loved seeing all of the artistic designs and paintings, very quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed the downtown Houston view from the rooftop patio. With every room having a different theme, made this townhome a joy to stay in. Adults enjoyed playing pool and kiddos had a tv to play their xbox.
