New home away from home
A friend and I stayed for a long weekend in this beautiful home. The home had today’s modern conveniences, but kept the charm of a 1930-40 bungalow. Beautiful wood floors look original, and had an updated small kitchen overlooking the charming garden. There was plenty of room for two and would be good for two couples. We ate at a great restaurant just steps away, and were so close to Rice Univ and the Montrose area. The host was more than nice and helpful. Never had to wait for a response. Even helped to carry our bags out. This will be our go-to stay in Houston from now on.

Long weekend in Houston
Took my 92 years old father to Houston to see his granddaughter for Easter weekend. Anton met us upon arrival at night with the property well lit, helping us get settled. We were greeted with a bottle of wine, fruit, water, snacks, as well as a personal note. The property was well stocked with bath towels and toiletries. Deborah communicated well throughout the entire process. The neighborhood is walkable to many great restaurants and coffee shops. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

A Home Away from Home
We enjoyed our 4 night stay in this very comfortable and spacious townhouse in Montrose. The location is excellent, within walking distance to several restaurants and supermarkets. The very well equipped kitchen provided us with everything we needed to cook a delicious dinner which we enjoyed in the attractively furnished dining room. An ideal home away from home.

A home from home in Montrose
This felt like home from the minute we stepped in. We then saw the welcoming flowers, snacks, fruit and bottle of wine in the fridge. The apartment feels calm and stylish, is spacious and cozy with lovely corners to sit in, was so comfortable and had everything we needed and a place for everything The patio area was delightful to be in and look out on. The location was perfect with shops and restaurants nearby, lovely tree-lined streets to walk in and close to all the places we wanted to go to and people we wanted to see. Deborah was a charming host, gave us all the information we needed, was responsive and the check in and check out were flawless. We will make this our home again on our visits to Houston. Thank you Deborah.

1920s home is beautiful and comfortable for two couples. Snacks upon arrival! Every morning I sat in the backyard by the koi pond and meditated. The neighborhood is close to yummy restaurants and unique boutiques. Most things were a 10 to 20 min walk away. It was the perfect place for us!

Our stay was nothing but WONDERFUL! The communication with Deborah was great! The unit had everything we needed and was SO clean even for the pickiest of guests! Beds were very comfortable, extra blankets and a lot of towels. Location worked well for us, close to restaurants and about 10 minutes from MD Anderson. Don't pass this one up, we would book again!

Perfect!
My husband, my adult son, and I enjoyed 10 days in this lovely rental. The property description is right on. Parking was surprisingly easy. The house was clean and comfortable. Deborah was so thoughtful - a bottle of wine and treats were left for us and her husband even asked if we needed to borrow anything from them to prepare our Thanksgiving meal. We are already looking forward to our next stay.

Perfect for downtown Houston
This lovely house is on a quite street in an older Houston neighborhood. It is the perfect spot to stay if you are interested in downtown, the museum district, or even the medical district. Though off the beaten path, it is within two blocks of major streets that take you anywhere. And for only a fraction of what you would pay for a hotel room in the area. (I checked.) Beautifully and comfortably furnished. We met family to attend a memorial service at a downtown church and could not have been happier with this accommodation.

Fantastic stay for a week
We loved Deborah and Anton's place. The location is perfect is you like to wander around and explore on foot, lots of cute shops and restaurants near by. Easy to drive to all the major attractions and shopping/restaurant districts. Highly recommend booking this home if you're looking for a place that has it all.

Would stay again!
Deborah is an excellent host. Unlike many companies renting out apartments these days, this really felt like Deborah welcoming us to her home. The space was clean and spacious and is in an excellent location for exploring Houston. We really appreciated Deborah’s notes in the guide book about where to eat and drink in the neighborhood. Communication was great. We would happily stay again next time we are in Houston!

Astros Game
We had tickets to 2 Astros games. This rental was very close to several nice restaurants within walking distance. We Ubered to Minute Maid Park. The cost was about $12.50 each way, so cheaper than trying to park and you get dropped off right at the gate. It was a few blocks walk to the Uber pick up point, but not too far. Overall we loved the visit and would stay at this location again.

Just outstanding
Anton and Deborah made our stay and situation better in all ways! My husband had surgery and a extended hospital stay and we had a revolving door of different family members come in and out. Anton and Deborah were incredibly kind and caring. They made us feel secure coming in and out of the home and well taken care of. After hospital discharge, the Van Buren place was perfect for quiet rest, recharge and sleep. The back porch was just what the doctor ordered! Deborah and Anton are angels! We thank you over and over.

This was a girlfriends trip. Two old gals off for a genealogy trip. This beautiful and very comfortable house is convenient to the museums & the Clayton Library for genealogy. It’s well stocked with anything you’d need and Deborah, the owner, was a delight. Very welcoming and gracious. This will be my first choice for any trip to Houston in the future. In fact, if it were booked, I’d try to adjust my plans to a time when it was available.
