What a wonderful place in the heart of Montrose. We were able to park our car and walked to everywhere we wanted to go. There’s restaurants, coffeehouses, shopping and parks near by. The host responded quickly to any communications. We look forward to staying again.

Deborah is an amazing host. Her “refuge in Montrose” was impeccable and she had everything so welcoming for us when we arrived. We loved her home and the location was perfect for us. Dining, walkable, easy access to highways and the parks. Very safe neighborhood. Highly recommend this property and if we have the opportunity, we will definitely stay here again.

The apartment was more than we could have hoped for! It was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay in Houston. Our hostess was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. She even left a handwritten note and a lovely welcome gift, which made the experience feel extra special. We truly felt at home and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

We’ve stayed in this lovely home away from home several times now, and it never disappoints. The space is spotless, cozy, and perfectly located close to everything in Houston. Deborah truly goes above and beyond—her thoughtful touches and warm communication make us feel welcomed every time. It’s the perfect little hideaway, and we’re always happy to return.
