2BR Loft Near TSU + Med Center | In-Unit Laundry | Third Ward Houston 2

Summary:

Renovated first-floor 2BR apartment approximately 3 minutes by car or 10 minutes on foot from Texas Southern University, with a full kitchen, in-unit laundry and one assigned parking space.



✔ Sleeps 4 across a king and a queen bedroom; up to 5 with the sofa bed

✔ Convenient to the Medical Center and Downtown

✔ Assigned parking, in-unit laundry and full kitchen



Good to know: first-floor unit, no stairs; sofa bed is best suited to short stays.



The Space:

Morning light comes in over the kitchen table — ready for an early hospital shift, a call before heading downtown, or a slow coffee before exploring the city. By evening, the space works for a real home-cooked dinner after a long day of meetings or appointments, before the building settles into a quiet night.



This is a professionally managed 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment on the first floor of a renovated historic building — part of the Blodgett Urban Lofts — with one assigned parking space, in-unit laundry, and a full kitchen.



Why guests love this home

✔ Two real bedrooms — a king and a queen, each in its own room

✔ In-unit washer and dryer

✔ Full kitchen for real cooking, not just a microwave stop

✔ Reliable Wi-Fi suitable for everyday remote work, plus a dedicated workspace

✔ First-floor unit — no stairs to manage

✔ A few minutes from Texas Southern University and the Medical Center



It suits medical staff on rotation, business travelers, and small groups who want real separation between sleepers at a central, sensible price.



Sleeping arrangements



Bedroom 1: King bed with memory-foam mattress and protector

Bedroom 2: Queen bed with memory-foam mattress and protector

Living room: Sofa bed — not the most comfortable, so it's best suited to a short stay



The king and queen bedrooms sleep four guests total. The sofa bed can be approved for one additional guest, bringing maximum overnight occupancy to five — but it's better suited to a night or two than an extended stay. Sofa-bed linens and towels are provided when requested in advance.

✔ Maximum overnight occupancy is 5 registered guests; the sofa-bed spot is best suited to shorter stays

✔ First-floor unit — no stairs required

✔ Historic multi-unit building; some sound transfer between units is normal

✔ One assigned parking space is included

✔ The driveway, parking area, and dumpster are shared — including with the neighboring building

✔ Quiet hours are 9:00 PM–8:00 AM

✔ A disclosed noise monitor measures decibel levels only — it does not record conversations, audio, or video

✔ No on-site pool or gym

✔ The primary booking guest must complete identity verification and sign the guest agreement before access instructions are released

Getting Around:

Houston is a car-oriented city, making rideshare services like Uber and Lyft the most convenient way to navigate the area. While public transit options are available nearby, we recommend using a personal vehicle or rideshare for maximum flexibility. For those driving, your unit includes one assigned parking space in the private driveway on the left side of the building, best suited for compact or mid-size vehicles. Additional street parking is available nearby, and the Texas Southern University paid garage is located just one block away. Please note that travel times to major transit hubs or airports can vary significantly based on Houston traffic, so we advise planning your commute accordingly.
