The Space:

This booking reserves all four private apartments in a renovated 1945 building: the entire 2820 Blodgett property. Instead of splitting a large group across shared bedrooms, each traveling party gets a full apartment with its own kitchen, bathroom, and door, all under one roof and a few steps apart.

☀ Five bedrooms: four queens and a twin, plus three sofa beds

☀ Full kitchen, bathroom, and workspace in every unit

☀ Unit 4 is on the first floor with no stairs

☀ Four assigned parking spaces, one per unit

☀ About 10 min to the Texas Medical Center and Downtown; walk to Texas Southern University

★★ WORTH KNOWING BEFORE YOU BOOK ★★

✔ Units 1–3 are on the second floor, reached by stairs; no elevator

✔ Historic building with shared walls: some sound between units and from the street is normal

✔ All four units share one water heater; with a full building, spacing showers out a little keeps hot water steady (reheats in 5–10 min)
