About the host
Hosted by Tian hwang
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
