Questions to ask when seeking MD Anderson housing
By: Luxurway
How far is the property from MD Anderson Cancer Center?
MD Anderson offers world class cancer care at several convenient locations in the Greater Houston Area. Be sure to verify the exact location you will be visiting and getting treatment at in Houston. MD Anderson’s main location is in the Texas Medical Center at 1515 Holcombe Blvd, Houston, TX 77030. However, MD Anderson also has several other locations in Sugar Land, the Woodlands, League City and West Houston. Before reserving your MD Anderson housing, ask for the address so you can map the location and plan your commute to and from MD Anderson.
Is the MD Anderson housing ADA accessible?
MD Anderson housing should be comfortable and accessible for your extended stay. Before choosing the home you want to reserve, you should confirm if the home is a one or two story property. Does the home have steps or stairs to access it or inside? Do the bathrooms have showers or bathtubs? Airbnb allows guests to filter search results by accessibility features, such as a step-free shower or an entrance without steps, so they know the place will be a good fit. This is extremely important as you determine which MD Anderson housing option is right for you.
Does the pricing include all utilities and fees?
Depending on which platform you use to book your MD Anderson housing, the pricing and fee structure may differ. For example, Airbnb and VRBO charge a traveler service fee, while booking directly with Luxurway enables you to avoid that 3rd party service fee. Furthermore, some hosts limit utility usage or offer pricing that does not include all utilities and fees. Fees can include taxes, service fees, cleaning fees, etc. Before signing the dotted line, reconfirm with the host that the total price you are paying includes all utilities, fees and taxes so that there are no surprises in the end.
Is the neighborhood safe? What security features does the home offer?
Houston is a large metropolitan city and not every location is safe to live in, even if it is considered central. When you stay in MD Anderson housing, you need comfort, safety and peace. The last thing you want to worry about is feeling safe at home or taking a walk around the neighborhood. We recommend that you ask what security features the home offers such as an alarm system and driveway gate. Every Luxurway home has a smart alarm system with 24/7 monitoring, and most of the homes have driveway security gates. Furthermore, you can ask what neighborhood the home is located in. Neighborhoods like Bellaire, Meyerland, West University, Southgate and Willowmeadows are all considered to be safe areas for families.
Is the rental private or shared?
This is an extremely important question to reconfirm the type of home you are renting for MD Anderson housing. Is it private or shared? Do not assume. As a renter, you should ask and ensure that the home is completely private and not shared living with the host or other guests. Luxurway’s homes are completely single family homes with full privacy and seclusion, no shared spaces. On Airbnb, you may find yourself renting a place where the host lives there or other guests will be renting separate rooms. When you are an MD Anderson patient or family member, health and safety are a top priority with MD Anderson housing because you need to ensure sterile living conditions. Keep this in mind as you search for MD Anderson lodging options.
