Birthday

2 couples, 78 yr old, celebrating a birthday. We enjoyed our stay. We had everything we needed and then some. Loved the walkability to the Strand…shops and restaurants. No complaints. Would stay here again….the only thing that could make it batter is an elevator….maybe some lamps in the living room for reading.

Property was amazing and an easy walk to the strand. Didn’t like that they have no way to store luggage. We like to travel early in the day to have more time to experience the areas we travel to and having to find a place to keep our luggage was very in convenient, but we made the best of it.

I really enjoyed this property and would stay again. I only stayed one night, for rest. However, my daughter and I loved it. It is cute, cozy and clean. The communication was wonderful and the bed was so comfortable. The parking is less than ideal, but that's downtown anywhere for you.

Juneteenth In Galveston

Great spot for our overnight trip to celebrate Juneteenth in the Birth City of the holiday.💚❤️💛🖤 Home was quaint, cute, and awesome for the price. Accomadations met the need of our family of 6. Only suggestions, but didn't impact our satisfaction; more towels, sugar packets (if sweetner is to be offered), frig could've be cleaner.. also, there was no large trash can area available to take trash out as desired in the departure instructions.

Great location but noisy

We liked being able to walk to get food and explore. The place was great, my only complaint is that it was very loud. I could hear the footsteps of everyone in the building, and i could hear every single car and people talking outside. I only stayed one night and couldn't sleep because of the noise. If you aren't a light sleeper this shouldn't be a probkem for you, but if you have a baby, or if you have trouble sleeping through noises, I'd look somewhere else. Other than the noise, this was a great spot. It was charming and it had plenty of sleeping room!

Happy with the property and good value

I booked this for guests who we invited for a quick and relaxed wedding over Memorial Day. It worked out perfectly. I was relieved to get the space and the price was good. Two bedrooms and bathrooms so it was perfect for two couples. It’s a few blocks from the strand, an easy walk even for a couple over-70. Their biggest complaint was no elevator which told them about in advance. The apartment was on the 2nd floor and no one else has any issue with the stairs. The instructions sent by the management company on accessing the property were clear and easy to follow as were the instructions for checking out. I found the property accurately described. There are lots of restaurants and bars close by and the area is very safe. I thought the building was really neat. It’s over 100 years old.

Great Location, Wouldn’t Stay Again

The location was fabulous and the apartment was as pictured. It had a couple of minor issues like a broken cupboard and dripping light fixtures. The bedroom that sleeps 6 wasn’t good for light sleepers - it had a bright light shining all night through a window and the bunk bed was very creaky so we didn’t sleep well. Also, communication was conflicting. For example, they said we’ll send you the door code the week before turned into the day before, then the morning of they said an hour before which made me concerned we wouldn’t have it in time. Also, the road was closed so we couldn’t drive up when we arrived, we had to walk with all our luggage and groceries. The host didn’t warn us about the road closure and wasn’t helpful when we called and asked about help finding parking. Still a nice place to stay other than the one bedroom that was hard to sleep in but there are too many great hosts for me to recommend this one.

Okay Stay

Just needing a one night stay prior to a cruise, it worked. No elevator or at least what looked to be an elevator was not working. Short on towels and extra sheets. One of us decided to crash on the couch rather than double up in a bed and there were no extra sheets. There were a few transom windows that let in street lights and were bothersome when attempting to sleep. No hot water in the primary suite tub/shower. Lastly, running children in unit upstairs carried on to late in the evening. We made it work but isn't what we are used to.

Nice Apartment

Easy check in and host stayed in communication. Parking is not free until after 6pm and can be hard to find near building sometimes leaving you walking down the street to get to apartment. Have to take the stairs but that was advertised. Bicycles advertised to use for free were all broken. Roach on stairwell. No curtains on windows, one tv in whole apartment , wifi was not great for families with lots of devices. Small shower in first bathroom, toilet seats were scratched up in both bathrooms, top window in first bedroom let light in from hallway during the night. Pet friendly is a plus although no real grass area around for them to use restroom except a church ground. Located A street behind the stand-easy walk. No complaints just observations. Overall great stay! Would definitely use again and recommend to anyone for a comfortable place to stay.
