About this property

Central Location - Heights & Downtown 5 Mins - 3BR - Groups, Family, Yard, Pets

Stay close to the action but away from the noise in the Heights! Perfect for families and groups wanting to stick together, this retreat puts you near HTX top dining, music, and kid‑friendly spots. We are born and raised Houstonians and love to share our home and area with you. We are a husband and wife duo and purchased this home to have our parents close to us when they are in town. We are close by should you need anything. Otherwise, the space is yours to enjoy.

Location: Most major spots are within 15 min drive and a 15 min walk to the Metrorail with access to Downtown, Museum District, Herman Park, the Med Center and NRG stadium. This single family, single floor (no stairs or shared walls) bungalow is truly central to many major attractions with easy local road access to all dining and attractions located in the Houston Heights. Get where you need to go quicker. We are just a street light away from both I-45 and I-610 and 15 minutes walk to the Fulton Metro station which takes you directly to downtown and NRG stadium without the parking hassle.

About the host

Hosted by Tian hwang

Host profile image
Howdy! I am an IT Consultant living in Houston, TX. I have a full house with a son, daughter and 5 furry kids. We spend most of our time keeping the kids occupied and these days, spend whatever free time we have catching up on sleep. In my youth, I was a seasoned road warrior having traveled across the globe often spending 200+ nights /year in hotels for work. That stopped abruptly after COVID. During that time, we had kids and now travel mostly for leisure.

Why they chose this property

The convenience. Houston is a car city. While we can't say we love the traffic, we love being centrally located and within a 15 min drive to pretty much everywhere we want to go.

What makes this property unique

Going on a 'vacation' with kids is just parenting without any of conveniences of home and with messed up sleep schedules. We've been there so we've tried to curate the home with little touches that make traveling a little smoother. Kid utensils, room darkening shades, sound machines and stools for those hard to reach sinks to name a few. The home is also one story with minimal steps and rounded furniture. IYKYK
