We enjoyed our stay here. The aesthetic overall was on point. Mo had clear instructions on how to get in. What you see is what you get. There were no curve balls. I’d recommend this place for sure!

Love the location less than 15mins from everything, friendly neighbor was welcoming! The only thing I wish Mo had in the unit is an elevator lbs overall my birthday trip was a success! I would recommend.

My stay at Mo’s property was amazing! Honestly, the pictures don’t do the property justice! The home is extremely spacious and very well decorated. The home came with everything you needed, as far as toiletries, snacks, games, etc. The property was super close to everywhere we needed to go which was super convenient. Mo was super responsive and really kind throughout the entire booking process and throughout the duration of my stay. My friends and I really felt at home here and we will only book Mo’s properties anytime we visit Houston in the future! 11/10 stay!

Our stay at Mo’s place was fantastic! The house was impeccably clean and well-stocked with everything we needed. Mo was very accommodating and communicative; she responded quickly to my questions and provided clear check-in instructions.

This had to be one of the best Places I have stayed while traveling. The photos dont do justice for this place it’s amazing inside and out. The home is secure and in a safe area. I will definitely stay here again when I return to Houston A++ rating 10/10 would highly recommend.

If you looking for a location in the greater Houston area mins from amazing food, supermarkets and local sights . THIS HOME IS FOR YOU. Phots matched what you will see when you open front door. Keep in mind it’s 2 houses on one lot. ENJOY!

I’ve been to Houston several times but this by far has been the best accommodation to date! Mo & Wale were extremely responsive, helpful and ensure that my friends and I had everything that we needed and more! TWO HOUSES and both were just as depicted, if not better. I will for sure stay here again whenever I come back to Houston!
