WELCOME TO BLODGETT URBAN LOFTS — 2BR LOFT Renovated Historic 2-Bedroom · Third Ward, Houston

We're glad you're here. This manual covers everything you need for a smooth, comfortable stay. Skim it once on arrival and you'll know where everything is.

———————————————————————— THE QUICK VERSION ———————————————————————— Unit door: your personal smart-lock code (sent before arrival) WiFi Network: 2824 Deco WiFi Password: HoustonStrong Check-out: 10:00 AM Quiet hours: 9 PM – 8 AM (noise-monitored) Trash: on-site dumpster Questions? Message us anytime through the app.

———————————————————————— GETTING IN ———————————————————————— This is the gray building. Your unit is on the FIRST floor — no stairs.

Parking and your entrance are on the LEFT side of the building. Enter your smart-lock code at the door, press unlock, and you're in. Always lock up when you come and go.

———————————————————————— A/C & COMFORT ———————————————————————— Central A/C. Set it to a comfortable temperature and keep windows closed while it runs. If airflow ever feels weak, message us early and we'll sort it out fast.

———————————————————————— HOT WATER — GOOD TO KNOW ———————————————————————— The building shares a 50-gallon water heater. It works well under normal use, but several long back-to-back showers may briefly reduce the hot water supply. It reheats in about 5–10 minutes, so a short wait gets you right back to normal.

———————————————————————— KITCHEN ———————————————————————— Full kitchen, equipped for real cooking, with dining seating for 4.

Starter supplies provided for your first 24–48 hours: toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, trash bags, and basic toiletries. Not included: cooking oil, condiments, foil, food containers, bottled water, and coffee/tea. For longer stays, replenishment is up to you — H-E-B and local grocery stores are a short drive.

———————————————————————— LAUNDRY ———————————————————————— In-unit stacked LG washer and dryer. Detergent isn't provided, so bring your own or grab some nearby.

———————————————————————— TV & STREAMING ———————————————————————— Smart TVs in the living room and both bedrooms. Log into your own streaming accounts to watch, and please log out of all accounts before checkout. No cable or streaming accounts are provided.

———————————————————————— PARKING ———————————————————————— You have one assigned space in the private driveway on the LEFT side of the gray building.

2824 Unit 1 parking space

• It's a tight space — best for compact or mid-size vehicles, not large trucks or full-size SUVs
• Street parking is available nearby (check posted signs first)
• The TSU paid garage is about a block away if you need it
• Don't block the driveway or other units — improperly parked vehicles may be towed

———————————————————————— TRASH ———————————————————————— There's an on-site dumpster. Bag all trash and toss it directly, and break down any boxes. Keep the dumpster area clear, and on Thursday nights please make sure the driveway is clear for Friday morning pickup.

———————————————————————— ABOUT THE BUILDING — AN HONEST NOTE ———————————————————————— This is a historic building in the Third Ward, an authentic, central, actively-redeveloping part of Houston. Sound insulation isn't perfect, so you may occasionally hear neighbors or the street — it's real urban living, central and convenient, not suburban-quiet. This is also a multi-unit building, so you may run into other guests in the shared driveway, parking, and dumpster areas. If noise is ever a concern, we keep earplugs and a white-noise machine on hand — just ask.

———————————————————————— NEED SOMETHING FIXED? ———————————————————————— The fastest way to get anything handled is to send us a quick photo or short video with a brief description. It lets us assess right away and send the right person without back-and-forth. Never hesitate — we want your stay comfortable.

Our team is about 10 minutes away. Standard requests are handled within 24 hours; anything after 5 PM is usually addressed the next day. For urgent issues — leaks, lockouts, major problems — start your message with EMERGENCY for priority response.

———————————————————————— CHECK-OUT — BY 10:00 AM ———————————————————————— A quick text with your departure time helps our cleaning team plan. Before you head out:

• Bag all trash → dumpster
• Toss any leftover food
• Place used towels in the bathtub
• Turn off lights, A/C, and appliances
• Turn off TVs and leave remotes nearby
• Lock the front door on your way out

No need to strip beds or start laundry — we've got it. Noticed any damage during your stay? A quick heads-up before you leave is always appreciated and handled professionally.

———————————————————————— THANK YOU ———————————————————————— It was a pleasure hosting you. If anything fell short, tell us before you go so we can make it right. And if you enjoyed your stay, we'd be grateful for a review — it makes a real difference for our small family operation.

Come back anytime.
