First of all, the host was fantastic—very thoughtful and helpful in every way. Any issues we had were promptly addressed. The house was perfect and had everything we needed. We brought our dog, and the fenced yard was a huge plus. The home was spacious, spotless, and extremely comfortable. I was a patient at MD Anderson, and the proximity to the hospital was ideal. I highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a pleasant and convenient stay in Houston.

Amazing house in a great location

The house was large a spacious and the owners were very responsive. Its located very close to Hermann park and next to the Brays Bayou trail. I was able to ride my bike to treatment at MDAnderson via the trail which was a huge bonus.

Great stay in Houston

We had a great stay at this property in Houston. House exactly as described and as pictured. Close to all the attractions and walkable to Hermann Park. Joy & Gerald were very accommodating and helpful. They worked with us on a short notice booking. Would definitely stay there again when we have the chance.

Sunny home in Houston

We were in Houston for treatment at MD Anderson. We stayed in his home for 85 days. It’s hard to be away from home for that long by but this house was perfect for our stay and made it much more bearable. The house is clean, spacious, roomy and very comfortable. It also has a fenced yard. It has dedicated office space which allowed me to continue to work while away. It is close to the medical center so perfect location for us. Nice walking trails close by. Joy and Gerald were wonderful. Very responsive to any needs or concerns that we had. I would definitely stay there again (though hope I won’t need to) and recommend this property.

The perfect place for MD Anderson

Our stay here was great. The hosts were very attentive and didn't discriminate against my dog for his breed, which I very much appreciated. It was one less stressor during a very stressful time. The house was huge and gorgeous. Great natural sunlight, especially in the evening which I really liked.Being so close to Herman park was really nice. It's the nicest park I've ever been to. We made it through hurricane Beryl in this house and it was safe. We would rent from here again if we had to!
