Absolutely great location for anything that needs you close to downtown or Deep Ellum. We were in town for the Mary Kay annual seminar at the Convention Center and it's a very quick and easy drive of about 5-7 minutes on I30-E most of the time to there, or during morning rush hour it's easy to take local streets downtown quickly. One of the great discoveries was an Aldi supermarket two blocks away (a newly expanding German chain that is sort of a common man's Trader Joes - fantastic value on everything, a lot of their own brands, and geared toward healthy eaters). There's also a Trader Joe's a couple miles to the north, I believe. The commercial neighborhood you pass through on the way to the house makes you raise your eyebrows a little, but the residential is a stark contrast of beautiful old Victorian homes. The apartment itself is a nice old building, simple but nicely renovated, with all the basics you need in it. For older people, I would warn that the bathtub/shower is a little tricky to navigate in and out of and a bit slippery, so to be careful with that. It was 100 degrees outside while we were there and I didn't feel like doing too much outside while my partner was at her seminar, so it was wonderful to have such an "at home" environment to stay in and get work done on the internet rather than going stir crazy in a hotel room.
