The space is frankly gorgeous —spacious and industrial, with tasteful and modern decor. The view of downtown Dallas is incredible from each of the rooms, especially at night when the city lights up. The check-in process was smooth, easy, and contactless. Alex was an excellent and communicative host throughout the entire stay. I was pleasantly surprised that the A/C was able to quickly and efficiently cool a space with so many large windows and such high ceilings — in the July Texas heat, no less! The building is just on the edge of the heart of downtown, so easily walkable to Chapel of Thanksgiving or the Farmer’s Market.
When in a new place, one should always take steps to be more vigilant and aware. There is a homeless shelter nearby, but if you are the kind of person who feels nervous around or annoyed by the presence of the economically disenfranchised.... just stay home.
A few small things would really take this space over the top. The pull out sofa sags quite a lot in the middle and feels a bit unstable. Something more substantial would be better, especially if more than one person is staying in the apartment. The kitchen could use a few more dishes - some mixing or serving bowls and since the fridge doesn’t have an ice maker, a couple ice trays. Due to the high amount of light, some thicker window shades would be great just for sleeping. These are all issues that hardly put a damper on a few days, but could easily become problematic for longer stays.
Overall, we had a great time staying at Alex’s apartment and enjoyed Dallas as well.
