Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
Bright, airy and private guesthouse nestled in Houston's historic Heights neighborhood. Minutes away from local eateries, unique shopping opportunities and everything Houston has to offer, this guesthouse is the perfect retreat. Relax in the garden, enjoy a night of s'mores around the fire-pit or just unwind on the couch while watching a movie. The guesthouse overlooks a spacious yard that is shared with the owners and their dogs.

This guesthouse is bright and airy with vaulted 12 foot ceilings in the living room and kitchen. The kitchen features new stainless steel appliances, beautiful quartz counter-tops and all the basic necessities (including a blender, toaster, coffee maker, etc.). We always provide complimentary coffee to help get our guests day started off properly.

The living room features comfortable and modern furniture, including a sofa bed and a 40" television with Xfinity X1 cable provided (with voice command).

The bedroom has a queen-sized bed with crisp, lush bedding. You will also find a desk that's perfect for doing a little work (if you have to) on your laptop. The alarm clock has a Bluetooth setting if you want to listen to your own music while reading in bed. In the closet you'll find a full size washer and dryer, wooden hangers for your clothes and an iron and ironing board to keep your outfits looking neatly pressed.

The bathroom features natural light which highlights the beautiful accent tile in the shower surround. There is a full-sized bathtub in case you want to take a soak.

The entire guesthouse has its own WiFi along with hardwired internet connections.

We take our commitment to our guests seriously and want to ensure you have everything you need to make your stay wonderful.

Guests will have full access to the apartment.
Guests can also enjoy accessing the backyard, featuring a seating area with a fire-pit and access to a propane powered BBQ grill.

Check-in couldn't be easier. The apartment has a key pad for entry and guests will be provided with an access code prior to arrival. Some tips for using various appliances and features are located on laminated cards around the apartment (so you can sync your device to Bluetooth audio, log into WiFi, etc.) A simple house manual will be located on the kitchen counter along with some highlights about the area the guesthouse is located in.

The guesthouse is located at the rear of a property in Houston Heights. Walk only a few blocks to reach the hike and bike trail. Shop on the famous 19th street nearby, and visit a wealth of local antique shops, art galleries, and restaurants.

Our property is located right on a major bus line that makes for a 15 minute trip into downtown Houston where you can access theaters, restaurants and the city's light-rail line that can take you straight to Midtown (where you will find a variety of bars and restaurants) and the Museum District. Street parking is available for those with their own car and the city features ride-sharing services like Lyft and Uber.

No smoking in the unit, no pets under any circumstances, no drugs or illegal activities.

My work: Deputy Political Director for statewide nonprofit
I travel a lot for work and always prefer staying in an actual neighborhood as opposed to a hotel. I've had great experiences travelling using Airbnb so much so that I wanted to give other people the opportunity to have a great experience when they visit my hometown of Houston. I used all the lessons learned as an Airbnb traveler to help make my guesthouse as comfortable and welcoming as possible to visitors. If you want to visit one of America's greatest cities, book a trip to Houston. We can provide you with great recommendations to enjoy everything the city has to offer and you will have a stylish and comfortable space to hang your hat (or hats if you travel with multiple ones).
