We initially thought public transportation would suffice but after a tram and bus ride fiasco I would recommend renting a vehicle. The apartment was accomidating. Parking was difficult as they do not have a working gate for the lot and it took us two days to realize the gate was just tied with a thick shoestring so from then on we were able to park in the lot rather than on the street. It was fairly close to Deep Ellum and we enjoyed having a whole apartment to ourselves. Thank you!
