Unclean & Unresponsive
So badly wanted to like this property but struggling to even give it 3 stars. The Good: Spacious, great location to the Strand The Bad: Dirty (especially bathroom and windows), worn, pics make property look newer than it is (kitchen cabinets for example), zero insulation to outdoor noise, too much light filtering in at night due to old, worn blinds. The WORST part is that we were unable to shower because there was no hot water. While mgt responded fairly quickly, there was no resolution. They even asked us to check the hot water heater (which was located 12 feet overhead in a cabinet that no would could reach without a ladder). Made request for partial refund and still no response after 10 days. Many improvements needed to make this great potential stayable for our family.

Comfy, spacious, close to the port!
Our time in Galveston was cut short due to a missed flight and having to fly to a different airport, but our night spent at this unit was a welcomed relief to the chaos of the day! When my family (2 adults, 3 teens) arrived, we had all the info we needed to make our way straight up to the unit. The communication with the host was fantastic, very kind. We had a tiny issue on the street, trying to figure out which outside door was the right one. It was late and the address numbers were hard to see in the shadows of the door frame. But once we got that figured out, it was a smooth check-in. We were pleased to enter and find a clean, spacious unit that matched the photos in the listing. The open floor space was especially nice for being able to open up our suitcases and get organized for the next day. The beds were very comfortable. We all slept great. My husband, being 6’5”, was glad to have a king size bed. The street can be loud at times. It’s an old building. You can hear motorcycles revving, trucks taking off from the corner, etc. It didn’t keep us up at night, but just be aware of this. The a/c unit kept it cool. The couch is big & comfy. My teens had plenty of room to lounge. Suggestion- a throw blanket would be a nice addition to the couch. The next day we were able to walk to the cruise port, which I hadn’t anticipated, so it saved us an Uber. A nice surprise! I’d recommend this place to anyone visiting Galveston. Thank you for an stress-free, comfortable stay!

Royal Caribbean Spring Break
Very spacious and clean. The bed in master was comfortable and the children slept well in the full sized bunk beds. It would be very nice to have had two bath rooms with shower and vanity. The stairs are a challenge to negotiate with heavy luggage (or no luggage at all). Two of the boards are cracked and seemed to be on the verge of breaking. We have stayed with you on two occasions now and knew what to expect. Very convenient to the Royal Caribbean port.

Great location just off the strand, tall ceilings made the space feel majestic. Dog friendly. Clean, comfortable beds, very spacious. Great open concept kitchen with a large island and a dining table with seating for six. Corner unit with lots of large windows and natural light. I wish they had some hooks to hang dog leashes or towels.

Exactly like the pics. 90% clean . (Carpet needs vacuuming; upside down coffee cups were sticking to shelf, rims were dirty). Very spacious. Bed clean and very comfy. Several available movie stations!! Loved that we could walk over to the Strand and found a couple of great restaurants. Overall excellent experience!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Loved the loft, the location and the vibe of The Strand. My critiques include small shower and bathroom, difficulty with lockboxes and taking our trash home with us. I would stay again in one of your lofts with a roomier bathroom and shower.

A little downtime
I stayed at the loft apartment while my wife was on a cruise with our daughter. The loft is nice and the only pain was re-parking the car every two hours between 9:00am and 6pm to keep from getting a parking ticket. Other than that I really enjoyed the property and location.

Pre-Cruise stay
Comfortable one-night stay before our cruise. Excellent location for The Strand and coffee shops and restaurants. We recommend the Leeland House bistro for a casual dinner. Be warned that the walls are paper thin and you can hear people talking in apartment next door and outside on the street. Didn’t bother us, but for others it might be an issue.

Great place!
Over all very nice place, the location is excellent for walking around. I had no parking issues. The only thing I might say would be it could use some touch ups on the walls and paint in the bathroom. The beds were just a little to firm for my comfort but It wouldn’t keep me from returning and renting again. Excellent communication from the owner and very easy controlled access in a really cool old building.

Great location but some suggestions for future guests
The property is a great location to be able to get downtown quickly which was very convenient. Also, it's spacious giving space to one another. The beds were comfortable as were the blankets though a few more in the closet would be helpful for cool nights. Things like a frying pan/skillet would be helpful also as there was only one soup pot. Also, the outlet in the bathroom doesn't work so no styling your hair in the bathroom. This was rather in convenient. The place could use a mopping as the floor was quite dirty! Otherwise, our stay was pleasant.

Night before Cruise Departure
We got to the location. Was a bit confusing to locate. Had to bring 3 large luggage’s up a steep staircase. Entire complex was very strong odor of cleaning chemicals. We were all nauseated the whole night. Our toilet didn’t work. Luckily my husband could fix it. Looks like they tried to previously using Bobby pins and tape. Was very loud. No sound proofing of street noise or neighbors. Heard neighbors text alert all night and motorcycles. windows very thin. Beautiful large windows throughout. Had to get onto a chair to open the blinds as you had to be over 6’ to reach it. Very comfy couch and beds to sleep on. Be careful when showering. My daughter and son both fell. Very slippery. Overall, great space and appeared very clean. Didn’t sleep much with outdoor noise but only a 5 minute walk to the cruise terminal.

Beautiful and clean
This renovated historical loft was absolutely beautiful and nice and clean. There is a gorgeous chandelier in the kitchen area and we loved the open airy floor plan with gorgeous natural light. There were a few things to note. There was a very tall, steep staircase leading up to the apartment that we did not see listed anywhere. We had my mom with us who has trouble climbing stairs and we didn’t know if she would be able to make it up and down them. She did manage, but it would have been nice to know this before we got there. Also, the handles to open and close the blinds in the beautiful windows are about 7 feet in the air and only one of us was tall enough to (barely) reach them to close the blinds. As wonderful as the location was, it was very noisy with motorcycles, loud vehicles blaring music and people shouting and talking loudly in the street outside until about 3 am. Now that we know what to expect, we would still book this location again because it was a great space. I just like knowing what to expect before hand so we can make plans to adjust. All in all, it was a great stay.
