Wouldn't stay again
We booked this property to be a unquie experience for our stay in Houston. It was so much smaller than the pictures make it look. It also looks much nicer in the pics, in real life it was very thrown together- in no way would I call this place "luxe". The unit itself was reasonably clean but the linens had dog hair and the bedding didn't seem like it was washed. The units are at the back of an house/ apartment complex so let go of any ideas of privacy because there are lights on and people out all the time. Additionally, they charge you if you use the plastic silverware provided in the (very) small kitchenette, $4 a utensil!! For the same price you can get a decent hotel room and you won't have to sleep with the unit shaking in the wind. TLDR: Small, dirty, will nickel and dime you, and has no privacy.

Good option but could improve housekeeping
Stayed here with my partner for 2 nights. I will start with the pros there were many.Check in was easy and price was good, ,area was convenient. There are multiple hosts that made sure to reach out atleast twice a day which we liked. When we first entered it was humid as others have stated. There is an AC unit with a remote that cooled the room down within 10 mins. Sheets were clean, towels were clean, but the floor and base boards were very dusty and there were crumbs etc sticking to my socks immediately, the curtains had brown stains on them as if they had gotten wet and dried. Appears like the house keeping does a very general cleaning. We had a lot of plans so didn’t spend a lot of timein the room other than sleeping. I noticed some brown spots on the walls but figured it might have been stains. On our last night as we were packing our bags I looked at the ceiling and noticed the same stains up there. I get a closer look at the ones on the wall and they appear to be mold. They are in multiple spots in the home. The vent in the bathroom does not work so this could contribute to this. The sliding door does not have a lock on it. Yes we were on the second level but that still made us uneasy. When we woke up on the second day we went on the balcony and the person under us asked if we knew anything about his bikes that were stolen the day before. We did not. He also mentioned someone’s car being unlocked and items taken from the trunk. So Safety would say is shakey

Gets the job done
The room was okay. The area was a little scary thankfully we were able to park inside the lot. I was a little concerned about the safety but we only stayed for a night. The whole shipping container felt damp as there was no circulation. Even with the AC on the sheets and floor felt wet like it had condensation on it.

Okay if you're getting it on cheaoer days
Not a terrible place to stay, we never received our check in code so had to call vrbo at 9 at night to get it. Place was just enough for two people but also needs better ventilation, the whole container was damp after a quick shower. Neighborhood was nice and safe though, and all other tenants were quiet and respectful at night. Overall not the best but not the worst.

Houston Getaway
The property was very clean and just as advertised. Communication was great and host left very detailed instructions. The neighborhood is a safe area and parking was not a problem. There was a mini-fridge, coffee and coffee maker, ironing board, hair dryer, hangers and a place to hang clothes, a mirror that lit up, makeup wipes were even provided! My favorite part was the water cooler that was there. Great touch! Someone else had left a comment about the humidity but it wasn’t an issue for us and it was very humid outside. The a/c works really well. It’s like a remodeled shipping container. And even though it’s a small space it really doesn’t feel like it. It has everything you need in one spot and the bathroom is a nice size. Shower was big and roomy. The stair case going up is slippery and winding and very narrow so just be careful on that part!

Clean & Inexpensive
I needed to come to Houston to see family in the hospital. I wasn’t looking for a resort or anything extravagant. This recycled freight was just what I needed. It’s small but the owners make the most of the space. The bed is very comfortable, the bathroom is colorful and clean, the small outdoor balcony was a nice spot to eat a slice of pizza and have a beer, and the appliances — including a small fridge, microwave and coffeemaker — all came in handy. And the neighborhood was very quiet.
