Refuge in the heart of Montrose

The 1,500 square-foot 1930's duplex is in the heart of the best neighborhood in Houston. It is within walking distance of many restaurants, cafes and nightlife spots, and is very close to museums, the Houston Medical Center, downtown and the sports stadiums. Our place is perfect for couples and friends, business travelers, as well as medical center visitors. The apartment occupies the first floor of the building and has it's own entry. This is a calm, comfortable, clutter-free home that you will love for its charm, well-equipped kitchen and unbeatable location.

The property was so nice for what I was looking for. A place closer into Houston, but quiet and relaxing. The space was so beautiful and clean. I will for sure recommend others to stay here and hopefully I will be too!

We had such a wonderful stay in this adorable home. Perfect location. They provided all the comforts of a hotel stay including coffee, creamer, shower supplies etc that some vrbos omit. High end look and feel. 10/10 would be back! Thanks for having us :)

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.

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.
