We had a wonderful stay at the museum house. The house is in the perfect location close to all the museums and Herman park. It was so fun looking at all the art throughout the house. We would definitely stay there again next time we visit our son in Houston.

Mixed professional and personal trip with kids
From start to finish, the process was seamless. The host was there to greet us and give us information about the house and the surrounding area. The house was clean, well maintained, and had interesting art throughout. The private pool and location near shopping, museums and restaurants made it oetfect for our family of 4.

My wife and I along with my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson stayed 4 nights at the Museum House. The facility was wonderful in every way that such a facility can be wonderful, and Hans was a gracious and attentive host. We all felt blessed to have found such a perfect place to reside while in town for the Final Four.

Extraordinary rather than ordinary!
We had a wonderful stay at the museum house. It was comfortable for my husband, myself and two of my daughters. It is convenient to Rice University, Rice Village, numerous museums and restaurants. The home is lovely with some stunning art. I would strongly recommend for an out of the ordinary stay in Houston!

Great Place - as advertised
This home is beautiful inside, just as the pictures posted show. Hans was very pleasant: met us as we arrived. He had a Final Four packet made out, took time to go over food and attractions with us, and showed us around the house. This home was clean and well maintained. Daily morning walks in this area were refreshing. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home during our trip!!

Once settled, much better
Unfortunately we arrived very late to the property and were not able to get in that night (we had to stay at a hotel). Once we were able to connect with the property owner, things went much, much smoother. Travelling with my wife and son......which made the recovery from missing the first night difficult. Owner was responsive once we were able to connect and he did try to make things better. I personally enjoyed our stay, but the first night was difficult to overcome for my spouse.

Great house, great location, great rate and great owner!
I stayed with my parents. my 14 years old and her friend and my 8 years old. We all enjoyed our stay. Some of the best museums in the country are within walking distance and its a short drive to the best shopping malls and other attractions (you should choose your time wisely to avoid Houston's traffic!). The house was great (from art works to the beds, towels, bathtub, kitchen, etc.). The only thing you should consider is a few stairs you should take to get into the house (if you have bad knees or hips). My mom has bad knees but could manage it! If you are planning to visit Houston, definitely consider this place. And Hans, thank you for your hospitality.

Great stay during convention in Houston.
Myself and a colleague from work were in town for a convention at the GRB convention center. We travel frequently and staying in hotel rooms is the same the world over. We decided to try booking a house through VRBO during our stay and it was the best decision we made during the trip. Hans was great to deal with during check in and out, and the house was a very relaxing place to stay and wind down between meetings. Our only regret was that we didn't make full use of the facilities and use the pool/hot tub. The house was very comfortable, and even my roommate who is 6'2" commented on how comfortable the beds were. It was also nice and quiet every night, compared to the constant door slamming and hallway yelling we're used to in hotels. The house was in a great location, close to great restaurants and museums, but still only a quick drive over to the convention center for meetings.
This was leaps and bound better than staying in a hotel, and we'll be sure to stay again when we return to the area. Thanks!

Superb location, property, and host!
Our family of 4 had an incredible stay in the Museum House! The location could not have been better - we walked daily to incredible museums and parks and restaurants, and we were an easy train ride to other area attractions and restaurants. We also very much enjoyed our time while in the house. It was comfortable and spacious enough to invite friends over, the kitchen was perfectly equipped (fun coffee mugs included), and there was daily access to the owner's pool and patio as well. The best part about the stay, however, was the host. Hans was so kind and helpful, it was almost as if we were visiting friends. We arrived to a welcome basket, and he was responsive to texts throughout our stay and sent several updates of local goings-on.
Although we were traveling with 2 young children, I would probably not suggest this home to all families. There is a lot of very valuable and very breakable art, and there are also 2 very steep staircases. Our kids were able to 'not touch', and we used a traveling baby gear company to rent stair gates and were fine, but like I said it might be more ideal for couples or families with older kids.
All in all, it was an excellent vacation and I recommend the museum house and Hans with 5 stars!

relaxing getaway
Oh my God! What a beautiful home---it is SO much better than the pictures, you truly have to see it to believe it. Hans, the owner, met my daughter and me upon arrival and chatted about how great the city of Houston is for sightseeing, cuisine, the arts and sporting venues. He patiently explained how we did not even need to drive anywhere---we could walk to the museums and take the light-rail almost anywhere!!! We journeyed to the IMAX theater and visited the planetarium and the butterfly exhibits. We returned to the most comfortable home with an incredible ambiance. My master bedroom was immaculate and the enormous jacuzzi-tub was so relaxing after the cold freezing rain drove us inside. My daughter had the loft off the living room and was warm and cozy and kept in-touch with her friends using the wi-fi available for her laptop. We watched a movie together and I drifted downstairs to my sumptuous suite,where I read on the most comfortable king-sized bed with an incredibly soft pillow-top mattress! I awoke the next morning after a blissful sleep (it is wonderfully quiet in the entire Museum house). The owner has a Keurig coffee-maker with some wonderful choices as I leisurely read for a while. We had plans to visit with my older daughter and her husband for a late lunch and they also loved our new home---so much beautiful art work to see (everywhere) at the Museum house. Our stay was much too short for me, but I look forward to returning very soon. Hans has a real jewel for those who seek an exceptional home-away-from-home. The house is very clean and comfortable. Although we did not prepare any meals, a full kitchen has everything you could ask for. I promise you wont be disappointed if you stay here. Hans even presented me with a bottle of wine upon arrival----Cheers!

Our every need was anticipated.
Great location, beautiful home, super nice host, who anticipated our every need. From sodas and water bottles in the fridge to extra plug-ins at our bedside, and umbrellas near the door, Hans thought of everything! The location is beautifully located in the Houston Museum District, and Hans gave us great recommendations for walks, sites to see and restaurants. The only drawback for some may be the stairs to get into the home. They may be too steep and a few too many for some vacationers. We enjoyed our stay at Museum House and would stay there again!

Excellent location, great property
The Museum House is so special. I came in for a long weekend with friends and we had such a nice time. There is a bedroom upstairs and downstairs with a main floor in the middle so there is privacy for all. Everything you need is at the property, including a nice pool but it was too cold out for a swim. The house looks exactly like the photos. We walked to museums, spent time in nearby Montrose, and tried the many wonderful restaurants nearby. I will stay here again next time I’m in town.

Eclectic home in Museum District
A very interesting home filled with beautiful art pieces. My wife and I were in Houston to take our granddaughter to art classes at the Fine Arts Museum— only a short walk away. Location is perfect for museum district plans. Everywhere you turn— there is art. Sort of a “funky” layout, and lots of stairs, but very well done! We would definitely return.

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Hans
I am from Germany and live in Houston for over 35 years. I love it in Houston and would not move to any other place. I live next door to the Museum House which makes it really easy to contact me if have any questions or need anything. I can help you make your trip the most enjoyable one you ever had.
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
This property was designed buy an architect from South Africa and has won many architectural prices and awards. Contemporary in design and very functional, yet cozy and relaxing. Plus, lets not forget the fantastic location!
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
I can not stress more the perfect location of the Museum House. It's central to most everything in a diversified neighborhood. It's contemporary but yet cozy and you will enjoy the feeling of the open space. I personally attend to all the details from the most comfortable bedding to a toothbrush, slippers and a welcome bottle of wine. There is only one luxurious MUSEUM HOUSE!
