Ok with a couple issues
Overall, it was a nice place. Nice and clean, good size space. The issues we had were - the living room couch is just a very uncomfortable and broken futon. The tv kept freezing up - guessing the internet isn't fast enough for streaming. Could use a few more kitchen utensils. I don't need a covered cake plate but I could use something to stir my eggs. Very low water pressure everywhere. The 1 am wake up call on Sunday morning was not appreciated. The hardwood floors upstairs highlight the heels being worn.

Accurate
Everything was as listed. No issues gaining access. Property was located near the convention center as needed with easy and quick access to the freeway. We will definitely attempt to reserve this location the next time we are in town. Thanks.

Noise
The unit is a downstairs unit of a duplex in an older building. We had a problem with the noise from upstairs. The footsteps of people walking around upstairs were generally very loud, whether it was children running around in the evening or people arriving back from a night out at 2:30 am or 4:30 am. With only a few exceptions, there wasn't loud partying, talking or music, just the noise of people walking loud enough to disturb our TV watching or sleep.
There are several bars and restaurants on the next block to the east. Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights there was a lot of traffic and foot traffic from customers looking for parking and walking to the party area.
The living room sofa/futon was uncomfortable enough to cause backaches.
On the plus side, the host was very quick to respond to communications.

Location, Location, Location!
Great location all around:
1) Walking distance to MoFAH
2) Walking distance to NMNS
3) Walking distance to CMH
4) Short driving distance to golf courses
5) One-hour drive to Galveston
6) Short driving distance to seafood restaurants
The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked. The gated parking kept our car safe. The owner, Max, was a terrific host!! We'll come back!

Great location!
We had the perfect weather to walk to the Museum District and Zoo! Lots of great (and local) restaurants nearby. If we had to drive anywhere, it didn't take long at all. The house was clean and we had lots of space for four people! Only recommendations: Measuring cups/spoons and reverse the fridge door in the kitchen (it was really awkward to open); more storage/places to put things in the bedrooms and a mirror outside the master bathroom area. We think this is a newer rental so I hope the suggestions are A-Ok!

Best Property Best Location
This beautifully renovated iconic property is perfectly situated for peeps who come to Houston to see the plethora of world class museums. My only gripe is that there was no live TV (only Netflix) to watch the Olympic Games. A real bummer. I would return to this property. But NOT during the Olympics.
