Other Things to Note: Arbor Flats is a professionally managed multi-unit property, ideal for both short and extended stays. While we’ve modernized each apartment for comfort, we believe it’s important to set the right expectations for a seamless experience:
🔉 Historic Structure & Sound Travel These apartments are located in a wood-frame building typical of Houston’s older neighborhoods. While recently renovated, sound may carry between floors—especially in upstairs/downstairs unit pairings (e.g., Arbor 1/3, 2/4, 5/7, 6/8). We encourage guests to be mindful of footsteps and volume, particularly during quiet hours.
🧺 Shared Courtyard Use All Arbor guests share access to a grassy, pet-friendly courtyard. While great for kids and pets, please note that mosquitoes may be present in warmer months. We recommend insect repellent during your stay.
🛠 On-Site Staff Activity A small on-site storage room is used by our team to support operations at other nearby properties. Our staff may access it occasionally during the day. Guest units and privacy remain undisturbed at all times.
🏋 Off-Site Amenities Access to a community gym and seasonal pool is available through our partnership with Emancipation Park, located a short drive away. These amenities are not on the property, but we’re happy to provide guest passes upon request.
🅿 Parking & Street Tips We offer 4 shared parking spots on a first-come basis. Street parking is typically available, but we ask that guests do not block neighbor driveways and avoid leaving valuables in vehicles overnight.
🧴 Starter Supplies Each reservation includes a starter set of toiletries, paper goods, and cleaning items. These are intended to get you through the first few days. Guests staying longer should plan to restock as needed.

This property is not suitable for MD Anderson patients.
I have many complaints. I will start with vomit in the courtyard left overnight. Loud music and talking party in unit below till after 1:30am(I had a 6am surgery scheduled).
I received no information for checking in. I had to call VRBO and they had to contact host for instructions.
There was trash under every piece of furniture. Dirty socks and clothes in couch, Holes in the door. I could go on but will stop there.
Parking is horrendous.
Neighborhood is sketchy.
Absolutely no correspondence with host what so ever.
I had rented this unit for the day I had surgery and the next . I ended up having to leave day of surgery and drive 4 hrs home due to poor conditions .
I would absolutely not recommend this property.
