Old moldy nasty shack.

Black mold in holes of bathroom floor. Drafty, Windows, missing shingles on roof, stinky smell. Do not stay here if immunocompromised. if the house is ever tested for mold, it will fail miserably. Spend your money elsewhere!

Great Location, small things could be improved

We really likes the location of this home. Walkable to a lot of restaurants and close to all the attractions we wanted to check out. There were a few items that could have been improved that would have made it stellar. The beds were very soft and sagged towards the center which wasn't ideal for us. The window curtains were practically transparent letting in a lot of light in the morning and neighboring exterior lights at night. Communication with the owner also could have gone better. I sent several requests to see if we could check in earlier or out later over a few days because I wasn't getting a response. We ended up checking in and out on time because I could never get confirmation on times one way or the other. It could be due to this being during the holidays.

Definitely quaint...

Stayed here for a month after we sold our house. Very comfortable but basic. The backyard was perfect for our dogs; that was main reason we chose this house. The house could use some maintenance and upgrades though; the powder bath door doesn't latch, refrigerator is terribly small, mattresses are old. We enjoyed our stay but it took some getting used to.

Floyd rental

It was a tough week, with the heat. House could not cool down. The property manager was very caring and offered to refund our money. He sent an AC repair person out to check on the system. Nothing was wrong. Old home and super hot days in Houston.

Cozy cottage

My wife, daughter and I stayed for 13 days while moving my daughter into her new apartment in Houston. Hunter was an excellent host - very responsive to any issues. Place is very comfortable, equipped well. Excellent location - very central. Easy parking.

About the host

Hosted by Hunter Jones

Photographer, videographer, multimedia producer and intelligent lighting consultant (the robot laser lights that spin around and make funky colors and designs). I have lived all over the US and overseas and have always had a fondness for the Houston metro area since I first moved here in 1981.

Why they chose this property

It's a rare gem in a historic neighborhood in the shadow of downtown Houston. While the inside reflects the history of the house with it's exposed shiplap and antique furniture, it's dwarfed by the 100-200 year old trees that surround it.
Despite it's setting on a quiet residential street it is just blocks away from dozens of fine restaurants and bars and less than 3 miles from downtown.
