Great location and space has lot of character and charm. We were in town for Thanksgiving holiday and A&M vs. UT game 2025. The location was very close to campus and walkable to the game and tailgate prior.

Charming Victorian condo on the 2nd floor (stairs). Large spaces and king beds were the highlights. Located near campus. Communication with property management was timely and professional. Things to consider would be parking, as it is street parking.
