MelanieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

LOVED our stay here! Jason was a wonderful host. We had a one way flight to Houston to receive care at MD Anderson and had booked 3 nights at his place for myself, my husband, my dad and my 1.5 year old daughter. We ended up having to stay longer in Houston and even though someone had booked this Airbnb right after us so we could not extend our stay Jason was very helpful in finding us a spot with hosts. He knew right next-door. It made our move very easy. The house was comfortable, the neighborhood is up and coming but we never felt unsafe. There’s a wonderful park nearby with a splash pad that my dad walked our daughter to while my husband and I were at the hospital. We will definitely return!

I really enjoyed my stay! All-in-all, i enjoyed the booking until checkout. Decently comfortable bed. Very clean! Nice hot tub! Oh, and they had a nice size speaker and mic for karaoke time. The only things i didn’t like was the water pressure in the master bedroom shower wasn’t the best so i had to use the others. And the intermittent working master bedroom tv

Eric and Sydnee were amazing hosts. They were extremely responsive and helpful throughout the booking progress and the duration of my stay. I stayed here for 9 weeks, and I had 0 problems. The house is clean, cozy, and spacious. It had plenty of kitchen utensils and tools, towels, and bathroom items. The location was great for downtown commutes to work, and Hermann park is so close - perfect for walks and outdoor time. I had a great time staying here and always felt safe and taken care of. I highly recommend this listing and Eric and Sydnee as hosts, they are 10/10 awesome.

I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The host was very responsive and made check-in super easy. We came to Houston with our son but also to explore the food scene and the location was perfect. Right in between the food in Chinatown/bellaire and the museums/zoo for family activities. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

We absolutely loved staying at the Peacock Apartment. The place is even more beautiful than the pictures. All the reviews gushing about this place are true. The hostess was kind and understanding with our check-in, and it really was like a little Paradise in the middle of the city. The location is very easy to get to and close to a freeway. There are a lot of markets close by if you want to cook at home. We stayed in every morning and just enjoyed the gardens. There were also a lot of rocking chairs so it was so nice to just laze about. We will definitely be coming back here specifically the next time we come to Houston. Thank you so much Selia!!!
