Feeling safe is most important. I was looking for a quiet uncongested area.

Rent private own. Stay away from corporations.

Stay in the Montrose, galleria or Heights area.

Make sure you look at the reviews, before renting

Don’t come to Houston or live downtown if you want something highly walkable.
