Another great stay!

This was our second stay in this lovely home and we will be back. It is comfortable, spotless, and welcoming. Deborah and Anton are great hosts, going above and beyond. The floor plan is perfect for us and our adult son, and the location puts us near all the people and places we came to Houston to visit.

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.

Perfect for us

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Refuge in Montrose. The apartment was perfect for two couples with separate bedrooms and bathrooms. Everything was spic and span and Deborah stopped by to say hi and welcome us. She is wonderful! The purpose of our trip was to see a special exhibit at the MFAH along with the Great Elephant Migration in Hermann Park. The location is ideal with good restaurants, coffee shops and bars within a short driving distance from the apartment. We will be staying here again on future trips to Houston.

Spacious, Comfy and Relaxing

Deborah’s apartment was the perfect choice for us in Houston while I recuperated from surgery at MD Anderson. Well equipped kitchen, comfy bed. Comfortable furnishings, quiet and very walkable to wonderful restaurants. We did have a car but we felt very safe and walked around the neighborhood daily. I do recommend visiting the Art Museum which was close by.

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.

Cozy and beautiful

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!

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!

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.
