The space
The apartment is on the first floor of a beautiful old brick home built in the 1920's with elaborate eaves and a covered front porch. There are four adolescent live oaks on the corner-lot property. There are two other apartments on the property, one on the first floor and the other comprising the entire second floor. The apartment is approximately 750 square feet large. There are four steps up the front walkway to the front porch and the front door.

The front door opens onto the living space. The living area has a large sofa and a 32" television. The contiguous dining area features a table that seats up to six.

The galley kitchen has just been installed and is equipped for eight with dayware, glassware, pots, pans, bakeware and basic condiments and spices. There is an electric range with vent, microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal and refrigerator, as well as smaller appliances like a toaster and drip coffee maker.

A small hallway separates the living areas from the sleeping and bath quarters.

The bathroom has a full-size tub with shower, a sink and toilet. Linens are provided.

The bedroom features a queen-size bed with two nightstands, dresser and slipper chair. A large closet is shielded with a curtain and can accommodate hanging clothing, shoes and extra linens.

Two window units cool and heat the apartment, one in the living room and the other in the bedroom.

There are 11 windows in the unit, a front and back door. The windows are covered by cloth Roman shades for light and privacy.

The Abode is perfect for university/graduate students, convention center guests, medical center visitors and other travelers passing through Houston looking for well-cared for, clean accommodations who will respect the property, enjoy it and help keep it nice for the next person.

Guests have access to the front porch and any portion of the backyard. There is a dedicated parking space under the rear carport. There is also random street parking for guests.
There is a laundry room (one washer and one dryer, both coin-operated).

Other things to note
The apartment is not far from a train crossing and there are horns that are sounded during the day and night. The city has yet to designate the crossings as no-horn zones, but that has been proposed.

Neighbourhood highlights

The neighborhood known as Eado (east of Downtown) is a part of the Third Ward located to the east of downtown. It was developed in the 1930s and has many older homes and mature vegetation. The area is home to The former Maxwell Coffee manufacturing plant, the BBVA soccer stadium, University of Houston's central campus, the George R. Brown Convention Center and the Houston Ship Channel. The feel is at once cozy, industrial, convenient and dynamic, mixing the old and the new.
The neighborhood offers a variety of ethnic grocery stores, restaurants, bars, and art galleries. EaDo is one of the 10 most accessible Houston neighborhoods.

Nightlife and sporting events draw crowds to the district. The BBVA Compass Stadium, home of the Houston Dynamo and the Texas Southern University football team was completed in 2012 and has been the anchor for EaDo Houston development.

Warehouse Live on 813 St. Emanuel Street is a 1920’s warehouse that’s been converted to a live entertainment venue. It was named “Best Musical Venue” in 2008 by Citysearch and has hosted many popular music acts.

Among the many unique shops in EaDo is Aerosol Warfare, an art gallery and urban wear boutique.

Another unique concept that fits well with EaDo’s growing creative culture is Houston Makerspace. Through crowdfunding, the facility is a space where creatives can gather to learn and to fabricate their ideas into highly-valued works. Their facilities include a wood shop, metal shop, rapid prototyping lab, screen printing studio, jewelry studio, and textiles lab, among others.

The Houston Food Park sits on a parking lot at 1504 Saint Emanuel St., beside the vacant Meridian Sports Bar. This food truck park opens from lunch daily and celebrates Houston’s vibrant food scene.

East Downtown Houston restaurants have some of the best Asian, Mexican, Cajun, and Texan food. Though it’s not just humans that are fans of EaDo’s food scene. The Green Bone is a doggie espresso bar on 2104 Leeland and offers healthy snacks and drinks for both pets and their owners.

The neighborhood has a bike score of 70, making it a favorite among many Houston cycling groups. The area is very flat and is home to the Columbia Tap Rail-Trail. This 4-mile stretch starts from the south, passes through the scenic Hermann Park, and ends at Dowling Street.

Lives in Houston, Texas
We love to travel and stay home. We enjoy walking, reading, having friends for dinner and just marveling at the sky, landscape and people wherever we happen to be. When we travel, we try to go to new places as well as revisit places we already know over and over again, like rereading a favorite book. As hosts, we are hands off for those who just want to do their own thing, but we are happy to be more involved for those who would like more contact or guidance. We love our home and we love to share it! Renovating this place was a work of blood, sweat and tears.
