I chose this place because it’s in my old neighborhood, which I loved and to which I am very partial. Even though COVID has curtailed some of the benefits of being near downtown, the location of this neighborhood is still great because it is easy access to the main roads while also being in an actual neighborhood with trees and plants and homes, and little cafes and coffee shops in walking distance, as well as shoal creek trail and town lake trail for outdoor activities
The space itself is cozy. The bed is comfortable; the bedroom has nice windows; and the sink/vanity area being outside the bathroom would be convenient for multiple-person groups, as someone can be getting ready for the day while another person uses the toilet/shower. There are outlets by both nightstands
I only used the sofa briefly for sitting/watching TV, but it was comfortable, and the TV is set up with several streaming services
I spent a lot of time working on my laptop at the little kitchen table, and that worked out fine, though the lighting is not great for video calls, so if you’re going to do that, you might want to bring a ring light
I didn’t use the oven, but the kitchen was clean and appeared to be in working order. The fridge was sparkling clean and had a Britta pitcher full of cold water waiting to greet me, which was great
I stayed alone, but the separation of the sleeping area upstairs from the tv and living room downstairs would probably be nice for couples or small groups where someone wants to go to bed while others are still up and about
Check in was super easy with the keyless entry, which is invaluable to someone arriving at the end of a 27-hour drive, as I was, or just anyone who doesn’t want a lot of hassle on check in
I would stay here again if I had similar needs (a quiet home base from which to operate during a multi-day visit)
