Karen's place was lovely and the property was even more charming than I had expected. It's very cozy and was just perfect for my stay in Dallas. If you don't mind driving (which I didn't) it's very convenient to downtown and many other great neighborhoods. It's definitely a good value for the place if you're on a solo or couple trip. The neighborhood is very calm and cute and the cottage feels very secure. The patio and backyard are lovely and well lit (evenings) I only wish I had more time to spend in it. Karen is a great host, super responsive, friendly and great with recommendations. The cottage also had nice little touches that made it feel very home like and comfy. I would definitely stay again.
