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.

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.

Great Place Near the Strand

Love the place and how it’s in the middle of everything from the Strand to the Pier. Only complaint was how noisy the street was outside the windows but that’s expected when staying anywhere downtown. Overall really great place and would stay again!

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.

Great Location, but A Few Misses

Pre-arrival information was timely and informative. Loft was spacious, and a great location for Mardi Gras. A bit of room for improvement includes soap in the bathrooms - only one had 2 mini shampoos and 1 body lotion, and the other had nothing. Handtowels would have been nice, as only 1 towel and 1 washcloth per guest was available. Also, an extra blanket would have been nice, as the weather was quite cold during our stay. Lastly, check-in information was not sent as promised, but only after I messaged host to request it.and rainy during our sypguest

Galveston Stay

Overall, this was a nice two bedroom loft. There were 5 of us and we only stayed for the one night because of leaving the next morning on a cruise. Two things. There is not an elevator. We had some older ladies with us and lugging your luggage up the stairs was difficult. So if you have anyone who cannot climb stairs this is not the place for you. Also, the one bunk room has a bright light that shines in from the hall. It makes it difficult for sleeping. I had seen this in some of the other reviews and let me say it is bright. Lastly, the bunk bed itself is almost on the floor and is very hard to get up from as well as makes allot of noise. The ceilings are very tall so I would think a bunk a regular distance from the floor would not be an issue. I don't know that I would stay here again, especially because of the stairs and lack of elevator. There is not parking and at night that was an issue but we were able to figure something out.

Great location & lovely place

It is a lovely, well appointed, nicely updated apartment with historic charm in a great location with many restaurants within walking distance. We were only there one night before getting on a cruise - also within close proximity - but wish it could've been longer. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
