Place was clean close to places he wanted to go. Only wish it had a working elevator because itâs a struggle getting your suitcases up the stairs. Otherwise had a great stay.
The location was ok but the main reason to stay somewhere is to get a good night of sleep. With that in mind, the bed was too hard, the floors squeaked so bad in that we had to use the smaller bed in the back because it was quieter than the one up against the hallway. Also the soap dispenser in the kitchen was broken and there was only one tiny piece of soap in the bathroom. And only one washcloth. As far as parking goes, it was very hit or miss. I will not recommend this place.
Very clean and great location. Kitchen was fully stocked and had coffee (Thank You, needed the coffee). The only odd thing was the bathroom as it was off the master bedroom and as a little challenging for other guest to use at night. Overall great place, secure and safe.
We had an overall great stay. Pretty clean and nice appliances. In a nice walkable area close to restaurants and shops. The only complaints I have are regarding the noise. The walls, ceilings, and floors are incredibly thin so itâs easy to hear others within the unit and building. Secondly, the listing wasnât clear that the third bed is just a sofa with the back laid flat. Lastly, I wish the building was a bit more accessible. Having a ramp or elevator would have been great. Other than that, it was a nice experience and I wouldnât mind booking again :)
It was not the most Pleasant stay. We did not have hot water in bathroom the last two days and finally had some in sink this morning when we left. Iâm not sure what the deal was. Maybe hot water ran out with others there?! Pilot light out?! Not sure. I was in contact with company and was told maintenance came out and we just needed to let water run. Not the case. Tried to explain that but no one came back out. We let it run and did not heat up. The place lacked cleanliness as well. The couch and rugs were stained. Not swept good and cockroach dead in floor. The stair climb was exhausting especially for my disabled vet. Wasnât aware the elevator was not able to be used. So Iâd say the bad overweighed the good at this particular place. It was my partners birthday so we tried to stay positive and laugh it off but it was quite disappointing!!!!
Very nice and charming property. Checking in/out was very easy. Parking can be somewhat difficult depending what time of day it is. Otherwise, great experience.
Unfortunately, the condition of the unit was far below acceptable standards, and we believe a partial refund is warranted.To summarize:âąThe couches were heavily stained and soiled.âąRugs were visibly dirty and appeared not to have been cleaned in quite some time.âąWhite towels were yellowed and looked unsanitary.âąSeveral exposed nails in the hardwood floors caused injuries to our feet.âąThe floors were dusty and filthy throughout the space.âąThe toilet chain was broken and required constant manual adjustments.âąMost concerning, the front door to the building did not lock, presenting a clear safety hazard.We have photos documenting all of the above issues. This property was advertised at a standard of quality and safety that was clearly not met.Iâm requesting that a portion of the rental fee be refunded due to the unsafe and unsanitary conditions.
Beautiful apartment in a neat old building close enough to the strand that we were able to walk. Far enough from the beach to not be âbusy.â Loved hearing the church bells close by.
LOVE this building & location! Very clean & mostly perfect for what we needed. Kitchen is amazing & very well stocked with amenities. Beds super comfortable!However, a few downsides that we werenât expecting: the one bathroom is within one of the bedrooms, so guests not sleeping in that room had to come through it during the night. The loft also claims to sleep 5 but there was zero bedding provided for the sleeper sofa, so we had to purchase our own. Lastly, the toilet chain/float mechanism had multiple issues throughout our stay.All in all, we had a great trip & I trust that the very communicative landlords will address some of these negatives moving forward
A beautiful combination of classic Strand District architecture with modern amenities. Easy walk to shops, dining and entertainment. Great hosts. Definitely recommend and will be back soon.
Great location in the middle of downtown Galveston. We were able to walk to anywhere in downtown within about 5-10 minutes. Close drive to the beach and other attractions in town. The apartment was just the right size for a family of 3 to relax in after a day out. Would recommend!
