Notes from the host
Chic Condo Downtown Med Ctr #6
This listing is a cozy contemporary community of 6 condos. Close to art and culture, restaurants and dining, sight seeing & nightlife! You’ll love this property because of the ambiance, the outdoors space, the light, and the comfy bed. A great place for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, big groups (multiple units available), and furry friends (refundable pet fee). So, if you are in town for business, medical center or just need an extended stay location, this property is PERFECT! We are very excited to introduce this beautiful apartment! It is in a gated courtyard of 6 condos that are all dedicated to short term stay travelers, who are staying for 5 days or longer. We poured our heart into its upscale renovation, amenities, art, luxury furniture and appliances. Quiet safe GATED community near medical center, downtown, Toyota Center, Dynamo Stadium, Reliant/NRG Stadium, Galleria and Universities (Rice, UofH and TSU), museums, parks, theater district, restaurants and more! We provide all the amenities you will need, new appliances, pots, pans, plates, glasses, utensils, coffee, blenders, toaster, towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, hangers, iron, ironing board and broom, central air and heat, dishwasher, garbage disposal. Once consumable items are used, we do ask guests to purchase their own if more are needed. We offer weekly maid service for an additional cost or upon request, fresh linen service at no additional fee. There is also a laundry room with 2 free washers and dryers for guest use. Additional Details: Each Unit is a separate condo / apartment. It has a gated entrance and is on a street of business and residential homes of professionals. We have Smart Locks on the doors, and you will receive a personal code for 24 hour access. You won't have to share keys. The floors are all hardwood with tile in the kitchen and bath. The countertops are granite. There is 1 bedroom with 1 queen bed and 1 sleeper sofa in the living room. The living room, is also equipped with a flat screen TV, includes ROKU and high-speed Wi-Fi. We take cleanliness very seriously. Houston Dwellings has taken over the management to provide consistent 5 star service. This is a second floor unit. So climbing one flight of stairs is required. I DO want to disclose that this is a "transitioning" neighborhood. Although the property is gated, for 10 years it was not gated and we have never had a security issue. The community is made up of diverse homeowners (with the average home ranging from $300K to $850K) and commercial businesses. There is a neighborhood bar a few blocks away and it can cause congestion near the bar on weekends. We want our guests to know they are in a safe environment. We ofter have traveling nurses, grad students and MD Anderson Cancer patients and/or spouses. In 20 years we have never had any type of security issue, breach or problem. Considering how close we are to downtown, this is a safe and secure environment. This is NOT someone's home. You won't have to "work around" someone else's living space and personal things. We are in the business of providing you and your group with a better than home experience. All areas of the property may be accessed by the guests. We use Smartlocks and a code will be issued to you prior to your arrival. Since we change the code prior to each guest, you should only give the code to others staying in the Condo. No need to keep track with keys or worry about someone being locked out. Courtyard – is available to all guests. We ask that you do not leave trash, cigarette butts, dog poop in the courtyard. We also ask that you replace any chairs that you move. BBQ Pit – We have 2 charcoal BBQ pits that are available to guests. We ask that you clean up behind yourself and recover them when you are finished. Do NOT dump coals onto the rocks or landscaping in the courtyard. Parking - We have private parking on our lot attached to the front of the property. Each guest is allocated one parking permit. Any additional cars may be parked on the street at no charge. Laundry Room – The laundry room also has a smart lock. We only ask that guests do not wash between 8:P00am and 3:00pm because our cleaning staff will be in and out of the laundry room during these hours. We do not provide detergent. I am definitely available to assist guests. Please send a message with your requests. If there is an emergency please call and leave a message. Someone will contact you immediately. Send all messages via airbnb. You also may see me or my cleaning staff on the property to pickup laundry or to drop off or to clean units. Please DO NOT ask the cleaners or the staff questions about your reservation or make requests. All communications should be sent directly to the host via messages or text or calls (in case of an emergency). Central Houston!!! The Museum District & Medical Center are less than 6 minutes by car: the zoo, science museum, art museum, Herman Park, Miller Outdoor Theater, golf course, Rice University, Reflection Pool, GRB Convention Center, NRG & Toyota Center Stadiums are all minutes away! All major freeways are less than .25 miles away. It's honestly the center of everything. Midtown is a transition neighborhood but it's safe. You'll see $650,000 condos/town homes next to old houses that are falling apart. Houston also has no zoning laws; It's all mixed. Just around the corner there is a bar with patrons that park sometimes on the street. (lots of high-end cars). There's also random homeless people every now and then; it's a typical big city. This property is a 15 to 20 minute walk to light rail. However, if you don't have a car the Uber is probably best. It is quick and cheap. You can take Uber to the nearby restaurants and attractions. My favorite sushi place is 3 minutes by car. A great Spanish restaurant is 5 minutes by car. Other Details to Note: This is a small cozy group of condos. It is a similar environment to a boutique hotel. We ask that you respect each guest's right to quiet enjoyment (unless other arrangements have been made). The property is within minutes to beautiful parks, a public golf course, the Houston Zoo, Discovery Green and many restaurants, bars and other activities. Pets ARE allowed. We are a pet friendly environment; however, we allow limited pets on the property at a time and a pet deposit may apply. Please inquire BEFORE booking. Events / Gatherings: - - All events, parties, receptions or gatherings must be approved BEFORE booking. Just send a request with the details of your event. I would love to assist with your affair. Minimum Age of Guests: - - Please notify me if you are booking for guests that are 21 years or younger, prior to making the reservation.
