★★ WORTH KNOWING BEFORE YOU BOOK ★★
✔ Central, authentic neighborhood: Third Ward is historic and actively redeveloping, more urban energy than suburban quiet. Guests who want a central base love it; if you'd prefer a quieter, more manicured setting, ask us about our other Houston homes
✔ Second-floor unit reached by an interior staircase; no elevator
✔ Historic multi-unit building: some sound between units is normal, and footsteps carry to the units below, so please keep noise down in the evenings
✔ Annex door: a door connects to the neighboring unit. It stays locked throughout your stay, but some sound or smells can travel through, as with a shared wall
✔ Shared A/C: the A/C is shared with the neighboring unit. Message us if you'd like the temperature adjusted, since changing it yourself affects both units
✔ Shared water heater: hot water can take 5–10 minutes to reach full temperature and runs warm rather than very hot; running the sink briefly before showering helps
