Featured Review on BedandBreakfast.com:

"Great deal — recommended"

" I travel frequently for business and stay almost exclusively at B&Bs. Every time I head to a new B&B, I hope it will be like Houston’s Modern B&B. If you feel young at heart, hip, unconventional, artistic, intellectual & progressive — this is the place for you. Lisa is awesome! Gina is super sweet and Chris is such a great sport. Chris is the breakfast chef and I am a vegan... he makes a fantastic tofu & spinach scramble! I will warn anyone, there is an air of quirkiness when you get there for your first visit; I think this is because most of the regular guests act like it is their own house. They are usually lounging around petting a cat, sitting on a sofa in the living room, drinking a glass of wine at the beautiful granite bar, or hanging out on the balcony. It rocks! This last statement is purely selfish — but if any other B&B owners are reading this review... go stay at the Modern B&B. This is what many young, professional travelers are trying to find."
