Hits and misses
Positives: Property location is excellent! Descriptor “VINTAGE” accurate from the furnishing, squeaky floors, close layout. Loads of space - easy enough to be alone while traveling with others. Off street parking (1 car) street parking hit or miss but not awful. Host (Kat) was genuinely nice, responsive (less than 5 minutes to return a call or text) and pleasant to speak with.
There are no wall power strips w/USB–C or USB-A charging ports (bring your own). Also, there are loads of wall outlets unfortunately, they don’t all work, make sure to check after 5 mins. to assure your device is charging properly.
Pool looked great in pictures but we were unable use because of the algae which Kat thought we could clean ourselves but, cleaning the pool was not on our agenda.
Finally, in the very early morning hours (between 1:30-2:00A) I woke up to water being sprinkled on my face and pillow there was water dripping from the ceiling and the blades of the ceiling fan were catching the droplets and tossing them all over the bedroom. I was able to capture a video of the leak in action and send the video to Kat NOTE: I did leave a large bowl to catch the water and hopefully avoided damaging the rug).

Nice old home with a great location and host
We stayed in the Montrose area last year for a month and again this year. Last year the property was sub par. This year it worked out fantastically. We had room for visitors and hosting family and friends. Everything worked as advertised and the host, Kat, was great also. Early on in our stay, I asked about a toaster (there was not one0 but Kat ordered one and it was there in a couple days. It is an older home, so you have to be able to put up with some old home quirks, but we just thought they added to the charm. The Pool was nice, but the weather for us wasn't really pool weather. It was clean and the pool service came through weekly. There were plenty of linens, kitchen necessities and comfortable rooms and beds.
Thanks Kat for a wonderful visit.

Great house and location, although minor issues did exist
The house is incredible. The rooms are clean and spacious and well-laid out and the amenities are top-notch. The location is convenient to downtown Houston, the University of Houston, the Medical Center, sports stadiums and freeways to get you where you're going. The decorations are nice and the house has many nice features. The owner, Kat, is very nice and responsive to questions. We did have a couple of issues, however. One of the main reasons we rented this particular house was because of the pool and, although it's nice to look at, we were unable to use it because of the buildup of algae in it. Also, there is an issue with the electricity as the lights in many of the rooms flicker randomly frequently. Other than that, it was an enjoyable stay. I would recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in Houston.

Great location
Perfect location and close to a lot of things you'd want to do in the Montrose area. Unfortunately one of the A/C units was out during our stay and it was a little hot in the bedrooms at times. Overall really loved the charm of the house and the host was very communicative.

Great house, needs maintenance
We had a wonderful stay, rooms are perfect, plenty of space in the house. We were 2 couples and had a great stay, currently they have 2 window ACs for the downstairs area which work just perfectly.
Main problem we had was to find dirty things in the kitchen, as well as old used napkins inside drawers. Also, real sad that the pool was real dirty with a lot of dirt inside, seems that a deep cleaning is needed. Could be related to the construction next door? So we used the pool too little and could not really take advantage of this.

A Victorian stay
If you like Victorian house's this is the one, with all family history in it. My family look forward to going back to this house on our Houston trip. When needing anything Kat was one phone call away and didn't hesitate to answer and help. Great location near downtown and any store needed.
