The property is located 2.4 km from Discovery Green Park, 1.9 km from George R. Brown Convention Center and 2.9 km from BBVA Stadium - Houston Dynamo.

My stay at Mycrib was fantastic. Clean rooms, giant beds, great shower and bathroom. They also had complementry tea and coffee, some bread, jam and peanut butter and also cereals and milk. The hosts, Cathy and Harold were so welcoming, warm and lovley. We chated a lot and they had really good recommendations on what to do in the city. They were also very happy to help with any other questions in hand. The place is pretty close to downtown houston, around 2km to any central place so I walked everywhere. In any case, public transportation is also close by. Would deffinatly come again if in the area, and you should too! Enjoy.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This hostel is located in a generally safe area (bearing in mind that Houston is not a very touristic place!), easily accessible by buses. It offers clean areas, friendly staff and a kitchen area.

    The Apartment was esthetically very pleasing and immaculate, the hosts seemed to think of everything. It was stocked with everything we would need for our arrival including snacks and complimentary wine. The receiving of the keys and the arrival instructions were simple and flawless. The Apartment building is safe and secure with lots of facilities. I would highly recommend this accommodation. We look forward to staying there again next time we're in Houston. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

    The place is great, spacious and with a lot of light. Full kitchen with everything you need (minus an oven tray, which made me throw out some stuff I needed to bake) but overall everything great. Great location, it has a CVS less than a block away, and everything important to me was less than a 10 min car ride or a 15 min walk. There are some beautiful starbucks near, inside executives buildings :)
