TWANNA'S MONTROSE BIRTHDAY
Cottage was bohemian chic. I mean, if you don't enjoy beautiful color fabric, amongst vintage art and collectibles from sultans themselves. Along with their own mythological spirit aka, magical genie in the lamp. Then you won't like Boho. The courtyard is just as fabulous, and the pool is crystal clean. Montrose was an easy to walk, to stores and restaurants.

Unique and Amazing
We've never stayed in a place like this and probably never will again. It is lavishly decorated with authentic rugs, furniture and the like from the Middle East - it really feels like you're in another country. Our hosts couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful - if we return to Houston, we'd certainly look at staying here again!

Complete honest review
Place was amazing! Such a fun and unique vibe and you can tell the owners spent a good amount of time and money with it. The pool was also great and we used everyday. Complete walking distance to many of the places we had on our list and definitely in a safe part of the the neighborhood. Communication was honestly the only flaw with the stay. It was very hard to get in touch with the host via email/ text/ call and nothing was set up prior to assist with entry the day of. Messaged and emailed several times when we were arriving for instructions and had to go get lunch and wait to finally hear back. Also one night we were locked out of the gate, nothing said anywhere that the gate would be locked and again could not get ahold of anyone with calling, texting and even ringing the door bell. (Granted yes it was around 1am) eventually had to have someone jump the 10 foot fence to let us in the other side. I would still highly recommend staying here, just allow enough time for long waited communication with the host. Evolve who sets this up was also not much help, just forwarding the host’s info.

Very unique property. Feels like you are walking into a bazaar in the Middle East(which is a compliment). Lots of couches to use for sleeping arrangements and the pool is great for cooling off. Property owners were very friendly and concerned with our comfort. What a great spot!

Very unique property with lots of flair and antiques, from around the world. The pool area was amazing and relaxing however, a hot plate would’ve been nice… if you want to cook with more then a griddle but really there’s no need too!! There are several great restaurants within walking distance of the property. I would highly stay here again!! But I’d suggest that they have a pest control company come out for pests like little sugar ants, mosquitoes and other insects… I just made sure everything was closed and kept in the fridge.. but that is part of life and insects live in Houston too… We really enjoyed our stay and the pool area and looking at all the neat stuff in this home as we explored this Montrose Casbah !!! I would recommend it to adult’s looking for a good place to chill and enjoy the nightlife within walking distance around them!!

Walk to everything!
The property was as it is shown online but could use a little cleaning to rugs or air purifier to get rid of the dusty smell. The shower downstairs had great pressure but the heat did not last long. The shower upstairs had less pressure, consistent heat but did not drain well. There was also some miscommunication about the pool being heated or not. The first night that I swam in it Phillip the other property owner was in the pool and stated it was not heated. When I inquired with Tim about heating the pool for the next evening for the kids to use it he informed me that it had been heated the whole time and increased the heat to help with the kids. That however is all the "bad" I would say. The property overall was out of a story book with the theme and the beautiful courtyard and pool. Tim and Phillip are friendly. The location was amazing and surprisingly quiet! You could walk to any restaurant, coffee shop or bar of your choosing. It is close enough and safe to the museum district and trails to run/jog or find entertainment. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique experience but those who want to be out and enjoy what Montrose has to offer!

Spending several days with our 8 year old grandson and 4 year old granddaughter during their Springbreak. Picked this VRBO on a whim. Very bohemian and the kids loved it. Too cool the days we were there to take advantage of the pool, but looks just like the pictures. Note: kitchen has a microwave and toaster oven + an electric griddle in a box, but not an actual stove. We enjoyed our stay at the Casbah 🌙 and the decor was one of a kind!

Unique place in great neighbourhood
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The uniqueness of the decor was a nice change from sterile cold hotel rooms. The work put into the decor is obvious and amazing. The pool and deck area were a great refuge to sit and have a morning coffee, evening cocktail as well as enjoy the pool itself. We were there end of Feb/early March and the pool was plenty warm enough to swim. The hosts were very friendly and we enjoyed chatting with them when they were walking through the pool area (they have access to another area through there but in no way was it disruptive). The hosts were respectful of our space, they don't use the pool while you are there. The neighbourhood has gorgeous houses, has lots of things to walk to. As we traveled through Houston we realized that there are nice areas interspersed with some more questionable ones but the area around this property felt 100%safe. The central location of this place always makes it easy to get to many museums, parks, restaurants and also easy access to the freeway to get to other places. Would highly recommend this property if you want something different to come back to at the end of the day...it's like two vacations in one!

Best Rental Ever!
I spent the weekend In Moroccan Paradise for a friend’s birthday. Loved it so much that we canceled our Saturday night dinner plans to have nibbles and wine by the pool again. We just wanted to soak up the feel of this space as long as we could. The decor is an antiques collection from the owner’s overseas travels, not hobby lobby imitations. We literally felt like we were sleeping in a museum. And so so fun!…Like being on an adventure. The house is in a historical district right off Westheimer so within walking distance to great restaurants. We also took a stroll around the neighborhood to look at the homes and properties. The VRBO was built in a carriage house behind the pool, and owners are in the main house, so our charming hosts were available if we needed anything at all. But of course they have already thought of anything guests might want so we didn’t need to disturb them for anything. The set up of the property gave us complete privacy. I felt like we were tucked away from the world and it was the perfect relaxing getaway. I have stayed in a lot of rentals of all kinds around the country and always hope to find something unique and fun. I have found my favorite and will be booking again later in the year for my birthday.

Overall Disappointing
The first thing we noticed upon entering the unit was the smell. It was VERY musty and mildew smelling. There were no towels provided for the pool like there was supposed to be, there were only 3 towels in the whole home. The first thing we noticed was that we had to contact Philip to heat the hot tub, which I did, and was told that the heater was broken, which meant that the pool couldn't be heated either. This unit was also advertised as having a PRIVATE pool and hot tub, available for use 24/7. Instead what we found on the instructions was that we only had two hours a day to use the hot tub and we had to pay $8/hr for any additional time, the hours we could use the pool were limited, and the pool was actually shared with the front house (their back windows look out over the pool). This was extremely frustrating and disappointing especially since 90% of the reason we chose this property was the pool and hot tub being available to us after a long day. IDK about you, but when I'm on vacation the last thing I want to do is SCHEDULE a time to go swimming or in the hot tub. If it's available with the rental it should be available 24/7. But in our case it didn't matter because the heater was broken anyway -_- Another issue is the showers. You'll get MAYBE five minutes of hot water. They'll tell you the water heater is functioning fine, and it is, but it's too small for the unit. There is a heavy layer of dust on all of the window decorations and all of the trinkets in the window boxes (which are not accessible by us, the guest, to be able to clean off... they are behind a kind of window cage). It doesn't seem like anyone has dusted or vacuumed in there in a while. My husband and I both left with awful sinus infections that we are still fighting off. There are dead bugs on the outside part of the bedroom "tent" that you can see when the lights are on and shining through it, there's stains on the wall in the master bedroom, the living room couches are horribly uncomfortable and when we sat on them dust puffed out, there's mold/mildew growing out of and around the air vents, and there's not a kitchen. If we had been trying to cheap out and stay at someone's crappy backyard rental to save money this place would have been perfectly acceptable. But for the same price we could have had a king room at Hotel Zaza, which we passed on to stay at this "dreamy" property with a "private pool". We were advertised luxury and got something we couldn't shower in

This is a very small one bedroom. There’s NO kitchen just a small sink and microwave. The pool and hot tub are for your private use but you only get two free hours and have to pay $8.00 per hour beyond that. It takes at least 2 hours to heat the water in the hot tub!
