Great location to stay in Houston
This is a spacious, three bedroom home with all the amenities right in the heart of Houston. The owners live above the property and incredibly responsive and helpful. This is the only place we consider staying when needing to come to Houston, particularly for visits to the Texas Medical Center.

Extended stay.
We were very well served by Patsy and Felix and their home over nearly two weeks of pre-surgery prep and post-op recuperation. The house is exactly as depicted in the pictures and one of the best provisioned properties we have visited. The home and neighborhood are quiet, safe, and clean and near many services and restaurants. Would absolutely return again.
Stayed 17 nights in Aug 2023

About the host

Hosted by Patsy Rhymes

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Midlands England but I have lived in Texas for the past 32 years. I love to cook, travel, read, and listen to jazz. I’m married with 3 grown daughters. I was trained in Europe as a Saucier Chef. Prior to coming to the states, I traveled to many countries all over the world and lived in Dubai UAE for 4 years. This has created an awareness and appreciation for many cultures. I own an Event Management company here in Houston and I am a certified NVQ service trainer.
(National Vocational Qualifications is the food service training standard of England) I have trained service staff for hotels, country clubs, and restaurants in the art of good service.

Why they chose this property

We love older homes and chose Larch House for its charm, location, and inviting floorplan. We remodeled and furnished the entire home. From the luxurious bamboo bed linens to the features of the gourmet kitchen, everything is designed to help you enjoy your stay.

What makes this property unique

We love entertaining guests. Patsy was raised in England. She grew up in the hotel and restaurant industry. It instilled in her the instinct to treat our guests as if they were staying in the finest hotel. The owners, Patsy and Felix, live on the property . We respect the privacy of our guests at all times. However, should you need our assistance you can be assured of prompt response time.
