We rent a place in Dallas every year for a week when visiting the family so have stayed at handful of different places over the years all within the same price point. We thought we would try a new place and neighborhood. Needless to say we were really disappointed and wouldn't recommend this place (at the current price anyway) as there are much better options available. I wish I would have waited until there were some reviews on this place because it really made for a not fun and comfortable experience:
Pros:
-Very responsive host. Easy communication.
-Perfect location if you are up for nightlife and/or want to be near the medical center.
-Everyone we met in the complex was very nice and friendly.
Cons:
-Place was a nightmare to get in to and to park, so coming and going was a pain. You had to have different codes for different doors, key fobs, parking pass, etc. If I wanted to drive anywhere it was an ordeal- no quick jaunt to the store.
- Not as clean as other places I have stayed. Building itself was pretty dirty. The apartment was clean enough although there was a hair on sheets in the sofa bed and a bug in the bathroom upon arrival.
- Whole place smelled strongly of bleach the entire time.
- Check in process was a lot- had to fill out two long forms and a contract. Asked for copy of contract but never received. Most forms I've ever had to complete and most amount of info. I've had to provide.
- Can hear neighbors partying/music in the late hours, so impossible to sleep. (To the hosts credit I emailed him and he got back to me right away and it was quieter the last two nights).
- Had to take out own trash upon checkout. Couldn't find trash chutes anywhere. Ended up giving to sister-in-law to dispose of.
- This place was just my husband and myself- mentioned my 11 year old son might stay one night and immediately got a $10 invoice- told them it wasn't certain so they said ok to wait to pay- but 1.) the place stated 2-3 people so this was the first I heard about an extra $10 charge and 2.) seemed like they were just all about collecting the money
I hate to write a bad review, but this place was bad. If it was less expensive than the way better places I have stayed at in the past, I could understand, but it wasn't. Overall, worst place we've stayed at thus far for price point.
