We were looking for either two hotel rooms, or a two bedroom apartment for four people on Columbus Day weekend. We knew there was The Red River Shootout (Texas vs. Oklahoma football) going on at the Big Tex, and Cowboys vs. Patriots out in Arlington, but throw in a playoff baseball game with the Rangers, and accommodations were scarce in Dallas. Somehow, we lucked out and were able to get one of the best spots available in the city.

The place was fantastic for relaxing and entertaining in very close proximity to downtown Dallas. There is an huge living room on the first floor, an enormous kitchen and entertaining space on the second floor, as well as a rooftop deck with great views. The space is absolutely perfect for 4 people, as there are two bedrooms and more living space than you know what to do with.

The space is an old industrial building that has been updated for living, but still retains very charming exposed brick and ductwork. While the walls are bare and not insulated, the AC worked marvelously on consecutive 97 degree days.

We chose the location based on the great pictures and location, and were able to walk to many places we had on our list of things to do in Dallas, including Dealey Plaza, The Sixth Floor Museum, and The JFK memorial. There are some fantastic food and bar options in the Deep Ellum neighborhood about a half of a mile away--particularly Cane Rosso & The Pecan Lodge. Do not miss the pecan lodge!

The host Lisa was very quick to respond to communication and easy to get in touch with in the months leading up to our stay (we booked very early). When we arrived, we were given a tour of the place and instructions on how to operate all of the various lights and HVAC units, etc.

We even had trouble with a flat tire on our rental car the last day of our stay, and the property manager Howard volunteered to stay with the car until the rental agency's tow truck came to take it while we could leave for our flights.

Highly recommend this property for any stay in or near downtown Dallas. If we make it back, we would definitely stay here again.
