WHY GUESTS LOVE IT
───────────────────────
The backyard is the star. A fire pit ringed by six Adirondack chairs, string lights overhead, a gas grill ready for dinner, and a dining table for six under an umbrella. Most guests book for the location — and rebook for the outdoor space.

Inside: two king bedrooms with quality linens, a fully stocked kitchen, fast WiFi, and a plush sectional made for a slow morning or a late night in. A Level 2 EV charger on the driveway — one of the few in the Heights. A four-car private driveway, so parking is never a question.
And then there's the neighborhood. More on that below.
───────────────────────
THE HONEST OVERVIEW
───────────────────────
We put this first on purpose. Knowing these now means no surprises later.

Quiet residential neighborhood:
• No parties or events of any kind. Outdoor quiet hours after 9 PM are strictly observed — neighbors live close.

One bathroom, shared by all guests:
• Comfortable for couples and small groups; plan ahead for 2+.

Before check-in, every guest:
• Signs a guest agreement and provides government ID before check-in instructions are released.
• Guests with no reviews or a rating under 4 stars also complete ID verification plus a refundable deposit or damage waiver. No exceptions.

Parking:
• Driveway fits 4 cars, plus free street parking. The garage is not guest-accessible.

About the pool & gym:
• This home does not have a pool or gym on-site. What we list is Emancipation Park — a free community park with great facilities (seasonal pool, full gym) a short drive away, free with valid ID.

Good to know:
• Sofa bed linens provided on request — just ask before arrival.
• Neighbor's dogs occasionally bark, mornings and evenings. Outside our control, rarely an issue, but worth knowing.
• Houston insects (seasonal, outdoors) are normal for the climate. Professionally treated — message us about anything indoors and we'll handle it free.
• Security: Smart lock self check-in. Exterior cameras at entry points only. No interior cameras. Decibel-only noise monitoring — no audio or video recording.
• Starter supplies (toilet paper, soap, paper towels, trash bags, shampoo, conditioner, body wash) provided for first 48 hours. Replenishment is the guest's responsibility.
• Historic hardwood floors throughout — natural creaking is part of the character. Let us know if you notice anything and we'll address it promptly.

Everything you'd want to know is below. Now the fun part.

THE ESSENTIALS
───────────────────────

• Check-out: 10:00 AM
• Entire home — no shared spaces, no host on-site

Need more space? We manage homes across Houston — ask if your group needs additional units.

The Heights puts you in one of Houston's best-connected spots — close to Downtown, the Medical Center, major venues, and both airports, without the congestion of being right in the middle of it.

Most guests combine their own vehicle with rideshare. Uber and Lyft arrive in 3–5 minutes even at peak times, and easy highway access puts you on the freeway within minutes in any direction.

───────────────────────
HOST TIPS
───────────────────────
• NRG, Toyota Center, Minute Maid: Use rideshare — venue parking fills fast and post-event surge pricing is real. Leave early or grab a drink nearby first.
• Downtown nights out: Rideshare both ways — parking is expensive and limited during events.
• TMC visits: Drive — parking there is manageable compared to most major medical centers.
• Early Hobby flights: 20 min with no traffic. Leave 90 min before departure to be safe.
• Heights restaurants: Reserve ahead for Coltivare and Loro — weekend walk-in waits can be long.

Please read before booking — these disclosures exist so there are no surprises on arrival.
