this is our favorite place to stay when we visit Brownsville having stayed here for the last six visits. The accommodations and the hosts are perfect for us, and we call this our home away from home.

Thank you Robert for the great and for always coming back. It is a pleasure hosting you and your wife.
we always stay at this VRBO when we visit family. We find the accommodations to be near perfect for us from the no stairs entry to the wheelchair friendliness.

Thank you so much for always choosing The Cozy Apartment.
W always enjoy staying at this rental. Its combination of location, floorplan, cleanliness, and ease of communication with the owner make it a pleasure. Our only complaint is that all the TVs are Roku.
This was a very nice stay! Great size space, 2 bedrooms (secondary room had a trundle bed for the kids!), great bathrooms. Kitchen was equipped with all the tools you would need for home cooking.Host Victoria was EXTREMELY Helpful and very Communicative during the booking process: I made a error in some of the rental selections, but she worked with me & Vrbo to alter and correct my booking. I was very grateful for that.

Hi Alex so happy you enjoyed your stay. Thank you so much for the great review.
Check in was easy. The house was really open and clean. My mom who is disabled got around easily and the walk-in showers were great hit her. They even had small benches she could sit in! The backyard was also really cute. Even though I’m a busy street, there was no noise at night. Felt very safe.
The rental we stayed at during our Christmas vacation was worthy of a five star rating. To say it was clean, well-furnished, and comfortable is inadequate to describe this awesome place. The living room was comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped. Conveniently, each of the two bathrooms had a shower bench, and there were a washer and dryer. Best of all, there was a beautiful outdoor space.
We highly recommend this VRBO and will try to rent it next time we're in town.

Hello Robert thank you so much for your reviews. You guys were great guests and are definitely welcome back.
We always stay here when we visit Brownsville. It's a one level home with doorways wide enough for my wheelchair. The whole rental is very accommodating.
