If you were expecting Betty Crocker or Susie Homemaker to answer the door, you got off at the wrong stop. Jan is wise and smart, open and welcoming, full of valuable information and has a most generous heart. Beau, house watchman, is the best dog any Airbnb host could have, he goes with the flow and tolerates all animals-- humans, canines, felines and even turtles.

If you want conversation and wine, this is a good place to spend your time in Dallas. If you want to be left alone and just go to your room, this is a good place to spend your time in Dallas. Overall, staying with Jan was a joy. Two other Arbnb mates and their dogs shared this experience and I have to say that when I left there this morning, I felt as though I was leaving three great new friends behind.
