About this property

Centrally Located 2 Bedroom Gem in Houston Heights

Located in the best neighborhood in the city, The Heights, this wonderful home is within walking distance of restaurants, bars and the Heights & Bike Trail, this 2 bedroom home is perfect for business travelers, couples or families who want to be close to it all.

The space: From the stainless-steel appliances in the kitchen to the rain shower in the bathroom, it has all the high-end finishes of the finest homes in the neighborhood. It was built to the historic standards of the Houston Heights historic district. There are 2 bedrooms, each with a queen size beds. All the comforts of home are included from the coffee machine to cooking essentials to washer/dryer. It sits on the back end of a full-size lot, allowing for a nice yard view while relaxing on the balcony.

Guest access: You will have access to the home, garage and yard. The garage has space for 1 car. Additional vehicles can be parked in the driveway rather than on the street. Note the home is up one flight of stairs.

Interaction with guests: I have lived most of my life in Houston but have also traveled and lived around the world. I am happy to provide recommendations for our fantastic restaurant scene, things to do, etc. We live next door and will be on the property to maintain the lawn and garden but will stay out of your way.

The neighborhood: Three miles northwest of downtown Houston, the Heights is a group of historic neighborhoods that date back to the late 1800's. It has lots of character and charm and has become a destination for many of Houston's residents. Some of the best restaurants in the city are in or near the Heights. The area has a mix of boutiques, thrift stores, antique stores, art galleries, etc.

Getting around: You will be centrally located in the city and can easily drive or use Uber to get anywhere you need to go. There is also a B-Cycle station within walking distance, if you would like to rent a bike and try out some of the city's bike trails. Some distances are noted below:

Downtown - 3 miles
Galleria - 8 miles
Reliant Stadium (Houston Texans football)- 12 miles
Minute Maid Park (Houston Astros baseball) - 5 miles
BBVA Compass Stadium (Houston Dynamo soccer) - 5 miles

Or you can stay close to home and walk to White Oak Drive, Heights Boulevard or Studewood for a variety of food, snacks, drinks, shops and entertainment. There is also a wonderful park for children a short walk away.

We rented this spot for our son for his summer internship downtown Houston. It was great and served his purposes perfectly. Walking distance to several restaurants and night spots. He had zero issues even through a hurricane. Highly recommend this for your next rental in Houston.

Cute property, in a great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is located very near a major highway, and close enough to downtown, that we didn't have to spend much time in traffic, coming or going. The grounds tidy, the house was spotless, and the furnishings were great. This property was the perfect base of operations for our visit to Houston.

Cozy Downtown Houston Get-a-way

Our experience with this home matched with what was advertised…A clean, tucked away, charming 2/1 Victorian style home in The Heights within easy walking distance to local bars and restaurants, hang-out spots, and exercise trail. Also, the A/C was cold which helps with 100+ degree days.

Nice Property in a Great Neighborhood

This was our 2nd stay at this wonderful place. You have to be able to walk up a flight of stairs but it’s worth it. Well appointed 2 bedrooms with a great kitchen. Upfront communication with the host was very good. This is a great neighborhood where you can walk to multiple restaurants. If you feel like bringing you bikes or going for a walk there is a beautiful pathway system just 1/2 block away. We’ll be back in the spring!

5 stars

We were accurately explained everything we could expect about the house and the area. The yard is gated in, and garage is accessible, we didn’t feel that we needed to use it though. 💜 Mimi was a great hostess, and made sure that we were armed with information before we ever got into Houston. We had a short trip, but had it been longer we would’ve been comfortable, and that is what matters! Thank you so much for making our stay hassle free and for being a courteous host!!

Nice place, great location, but...

On the positive side, the garage home was very nice. Clean, well organized, off-street parking. You could even use the garage if you wanted to. There is a balcony with comfortable chairs that were great for relaxing outside. Great location! Lots of hot water in the shower. On the not-so-positive side, there were a few things that really bugged us. Check-in was difficult--I had to download some lock-related app. I asked the owner if there was another way to gain entry to the place, but received a no. Then, a few hours later, after I had to set-up and get trained on the app, I get word that a code had been set up and that I didn't need to go through the app after all. We arrived at the place at 3:56 pm and could not get the code to work--this owner is very serious about checking in at 4:00 pm precisely. And she sent me several messages reminding me that we had to be out by 10:00 am on the dot! We were provided 2 cheap bath towels and a hand towel for 2 of us for 4 days. There was a fob and a clicker for closing the gate to the property and neither worked. And we were given instructions on how to clean up after ourselves. We are very neat, and honestly, isn't that what the extra fee for housekeeping is for? Big picture, it's a pretty, clean place in a great location. We just did not feel welcome. If those kinds of things do not bother you, then you'll enjoy the house.

We love staying in our old neighborhood when we travel back to H-Town. Lots of great restaurants, coffee shops, etc. within walking distance. The owners were very helpful with the process of checking in. The 2 bedroom accommodations had everything we needed for a nice long weekend.

Lovely home located in a perfect area of the Heights!

Mimi was great at responding quickly to any questions or needs we had before and during our stay. The AC busted on our first night, but Mimi and her husband Jeff were quick to resolve the issue and kept us in constant communication until it was fixed. I would absolutely stay here again and appreciate the superb hospitality!

Excellent place close to downtown

Stayed for 3 nights while attending a music festival at White oak Music Hall. Great location: quiet at night and plenty of restaurants nearby. Will gladly stay again, Interior is very nicely done. Kitchen is nicely stocked though I did not see any paper towels. The only other suggestion I would like to make is to have a comfortable sofa instead of the two chairs.
