Family-friendly vacation rentals in East Downtown, Houston

Thanks for a very comfortable stay @ your Airbnb. Would recommend it to anyone who visits Houston.The place is ideally located, within walking distance of the restaurants and shops. Having a Garage and laundry facility was super helpful . Trent is very responsive. We had a plumbing issue. Trent fixed it at the earliest. Thank you Trent for an enjoyable experience.

Worth every penny. We will be staying here again as we come in and out of Houston for medical needs. Close to medical facilities, parks, restaurants, shopping…or great place to just rest and recharge.

Would do it again! Only issue I had was at check in, was sent instruction video that had problems playing and couldn’t get ahold of Jay. We figured it out pretty quickly, other than that, great stay.

I can’t say enough about our stay and the hosts! They made a very special trip extraordinary!! The home is beautiful, safe, and a Shangri-La to me!! Placement of rooms are wonderful and afforded privacy with other guests. The saltwater pool was wonderful and with shade from trees made it very comfortable on hot, summer days! Communications with hosts felt personal and was much appreciated. This was my first VRBO / Airbnb experience and what a wonderful one it was!! Had to leave a day early due to the hurricane, yet again, the host expressed genuine concern for us. Very clean and comfortable! It was hard to leave!

I had an amazing experience at this Airbnb! From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The host was outstanding—friendly, responsive, and genuinely committed to making sure I had a great visit. The location was perfect—close to everything I needed, yet quiet and peaceful for a good night’s sleep. I couldn’t have asked for a better home away from home. I’ll definitely be booking here again the next time I’m in the area!

When we needed a place to stay and work from home for 3 weeks while our floors were refinished and house shown/inspected, we were nervous about that long of a stay but Ella’s home was perfect - clean, comfortable, well appointed and well located. Close to everything, we enjoyed walking the cute Sunset Heights neighborhood. Ella is a wonderful and responsive host and we would definitely recommend her place!!

Wonderful home! Mark’s home is a great place to stay in the city. Extremely comfortable and spacious! The neighborhood is very quiet. It’s easy to get to and perfectly located. I really could move in permanently! The teens enjoyed having their own space as the home is very spacious. Mark is a wonderful host, very responsive and accommodating. Thanks Mark for your hospitality. We will definitely look to stay again soon.

I have stayed at several AirBnbs as I travel to Houston every 3 months. This one is my new favorite! I stayed here for 4 weeks and it was perfect! I wouldn't have changed a thing. The decor was lovely, good quality furniture, comfy bed with good quality bedding, good shower pressure with a nice soaker tub. The pool area is beautiful and was a nice place to relax. I'm from Michigan so being able to swim in October was wonderful lol. I love my home in Michigan, but I must admit I'm kinda going to miss this lovely apartment. This was one of the pricier places I've stayed at but it was worth it...I loved it!

Really great place the stay if you want to be in the middle of downtown Houston. Close to a ton of restaurants and you’re within walkable distance from the Houston Astros stadium and the convention center. The host was very responsive, the neighborhood was quiet and the home was clean and spacious. It was a 10/10 experience and would definitely do it again.

Greatly enjoyed my stay! Great host and very responsive. Quick to act as well. Will definitely stay again the future.

We loved our stay at Tom's slice of paradise! The apartment was ideal for our visit to the area. It was incredibly comfortable and peaceful. The yard with beautiful flowers made it feel like a nature retreat. We will definitely try to book again!

Vic is an awesome host he helped us out with everything we needed. Would highly recommend staying with Vic!!

This duplex is charming, spacious, and in a terrific neighborhood. Many award-winning restaurants are within walking distance, as is the world-class Menil Collection. I could not have found a better place for my dogs and me for two months.

Stayed June to August. Great location, great communication, AC worked well, everything was clean, no bugs. Definitely recommend.

This was the perfect location for our wedding down the street. Jamie was a great host. Looking forward to using her home again

This place was so clean and spotless! The perfect spot in Montrose. This was my home for 1 month and I felt so taken care of. Less than 5 minutes from everything imaginable. Comfortable King Beds and beautiful finished apartments! The host are soooooo Kind! Let them know anything you need they will take care of it guaranteed!

Lots of space! The house was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Location was close to everything. Lystra was very thorough on the check in. She responded to my questions right away.

David was very proactive in communication that was clear and concise and left no room for any questions or miss understanding. There was a minor issue that occurred during the stay and he was prompt and on target with communication and response. I enjoyed the property location and security of the location. Look forward to future stays !

Desiree was excellent to communicate with. The place was very clean and had a lot of “extras”.

Came to Houston for a concert at NRG with my wife and another couple. Great place to stay. If we really wanted to and it wasn't raining, the distance to the stadium is walkable (we opted for an Uber which was super convenient too). The place itself seems tucked away and was super quiet. The space was very cozy and clean and not too far from other attractions like the Galleria. Overall, we would definitely stay again, especially for a show at NRG!

Enjoyed a great stay at Phi's AirBb. Clean, peaceful and in a great location. The place had all the amenities I look for ....had to extend my booking a day and Phi made it easy. 5 Star host, 5 Star place...definitely recommend!!

Had a wonderful stay at the Phoenician. Alan was so helpful and accommodating. He responded immediately to any requests or questions I had and could not have been kinder. The apartment is in a very busy area called the Galleria-around the corner from all the best shops and restaurant with easy access to major thoroughfares. The apartment is small, clean and quiet. Thank you , Alan!

Great place to stay. I had booked a hotel for my weekend trip to Houston but when I got to it, it was in an area that didn’t feel safe. I was so stressed out about the situation because it was just me and my daughter traveling. Luckily we were able to book this place. I was looking for something safe. This place felt extremely safe and the check in process was easy. I also liked the location. Overall great stay, would stay here again.

Absolutely amazing stay! The host was incredibly responsive and helpful, and the location couldn’t have been better. I highly recommend this spot — you won’t be disappointe
