Proudly featured in the travel blog TheEscapeHome as "The best we’ve stayed in", this is a beautiful, clean, well cared for, welcoming home & our goal is to make your stay as pleasant as we are able. Our forte, backed by our reviews, is hosting families, friends, academic & medical professionals visiting the Houston Medical Center & Rice University both only a short stroll from the duplex.
The entire unit has been remodeled 2020-2021.
The living & dining areas are approx 1000 sq ft, all hardwoods with refreshingly large windows looking out towards the tree lined street. There is a Dyson Hepa Filter unit to keep the air clean & indoor air quality high.
The kitchen is fully equipped with both gas & electric appliances, kettle, coffee machine, plate wear, glasses (from moscow mules to martini glasses & everything in-between), utensils, pans, oven gloves etc. And great tasting, high quality water throughout the house with the whole house Culligan HD-950a three-stage filter system.
The dining table seats 6 & there is comfy tv seating for 6.
As well as the 55" SMART TV, there are Century Internet Radio Smart Wi-Fi Speakers with Alexa built-in for your enjoyment.
There are 2 bedrooms:
- The 1st front “Texas” bedroom features a plush king mattress & has a walk in closet, an ensuite bathroom with 6ft shower, desk, seating & looks out over the old oak tree in front of the building
- The 2nd rear view “British” bedroom has a firm memory foam queen mattress, a desk & full bathroom the next door along.
- There is also a convertible twin sofa-bed in the spacious living room.
All bedding, linens & towels are washed & treated with UV-C lights between guests. We consider the cleanliness of your environment to be paramount. (Cleansebot uses FOUR UV-C lamps to blast away 99.99%+ of germs and bacteria)
There are desks in both of the bedrooms & each is also equipped with charging units for your convenience, white noise machines for your privacy & blackout curtains incase you'd like an afternoon siesta.
The two bathrooms are stocked with fluffy bath, hand & face towels & a variety of amenities, just incase you forgot something, as well as hairdryers, flat iron etc
Hopefully we have thought of all the little things that will make your stay an easy one ;)
Though there are both front & rear entrances to the flat, the front entrance is where the keypad is located for you to enter & exit the building.
If you need anything during your stay, reach out & if we can help, we will!
The entire downstairs duplex you are looking at is private & on one floor. The location is 100 yds from the Med Cen & occasional lifeflights & ambulances can be heard but far less than one would expect. This is a downstairs duplex & though we have gone to great lengths to minimize sound transference & encourage quiet hours, it should be noted there is a unit above
The back deck sun lounger area, Weber, bicycle rack & washer/ dryer, all located to the rear of the building, are shared with the upstairs duplex.
IMPORTANT
- Integrity in numbers matters. Your reservation needs to match your guest count for you to be our guests. If that number changes, you must change your reservation prior to arrival so we can prepare for you accordingly

- Our forte, backed by our reviews, is hosting families, friends, academic & medical professionals visiting the Med Center & Rice University. We are located in a quiet neighborhood & our home is NOT suitable to be used as a party venue
- To meet the neighborhood watch requirements, please provide us with EACH guests name at least 24hrs prior to arrival. Though we require, we also appreciate your co-operation as we cherish our neighborhood & community relations & the safe environment that it encourages

Other things to note
Our forte, backed by our reviews, is hosting families, friends, academic & medical professionals visiting the Med Center & Rice University. We are located in a quiet neighborhood & our home is NOT suitable to be used as a party venue.
1. Please tell us a bit about yourself along with the general purpose of your stay so we can prepare for your arrival
2. Please include the FULL NAMES & ages of your guests in your reservation to provide to our neighborhood watch as a condition of rental
3. It is important the number of guests in your reservation matches the number of guests that attend. The maids also use this to provide ample amenities, supplies, breakfast choices & set up the bedrooms. And they are also re-numerated accordingly
4. An ETA is always appreciated so we can make sure the duplex is cooled for you (Houston is sweaty!)
5. Please let us know if you would like parking for one vehicle at the unit so we can forward the relevant information to you the day before arrival
