We have hosted more than 8,000 guests, and we are the largest furnished apartment provider in Midtown and the Medical Center area. We’ve been added to the Joe’s House List for approved furnished housing providers for Anderson patients.

When you book a Lodgeur apartment, you can expect a professionally designed space that’s fully-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We’ve thought of it all- from our cozy, memory foam mattress and high speed internet to an organized kitchen and lounge-ready living room.

Even better, our extended stays are flexible. When your treatment plan changes, you can terminate your extended stay on just 14 days’ notice. Airbnb and VRBO rentals won’t let you do that.

Now here’s come the hard part, deciding which great location best fits your needs: Mid Main Lofts or Elan Med Center.

Living at Mid Main Lofts in Midtown Houston (3 miles from MD Anderson Main Building)

At Mid Main Lofts, we have fully-furnished apartments ready to rent for healthcare travelers, including studios, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units.

It’s conveniently located between downtown and the TMC with its own stop on the METRORail line right outside the building. Driving to TMC can be a headache (especially during rush hour), so oftentimes patients and traveling medical professionals opt for the METRORail instead. (If you’re new to this kind of public transportation, don’t worry, we have a fool-proof guide to help you get around the city like a local!)

The METRORail makes getting around a breeze, but on those days you don’t feel like traveling far to grab a bite to eat or order to-go, you have access to all kinds of restaurants and bars within a three-block radius. Midtown is known as one of the most bustling and walkable parts of town, so you’ll have plenty of places to explore right on your doorstep!
