Dallas review
We stayed here for 2 weeks while traveling and working remote. The wifi was great and we had no issues (both of us were working on it). When we arrived the door pad battery was dead so we couldn’t get into the house. After calling Viktoriya about 4 times, she picked up. She had someone bring us a spare key within 10 minutes and they came and updated the batteries by the next day which was nice.
The house was clean and fairly well stocked other than toilet paper and paper towels. We had to go buy extra for the 2nd week of our stay. I was grateful we had enough to get through the first few days but normally that is something that is included for extended stays.
There was plenty of shampoo, body wash, hand soap, trash bags and dish soap.
I loved that there was a washing machine here - there was also laundry detergent.
The kitchen was fairly well stocked other than there wasn’t a Normal size colander - just a tiny one but we made that work 😊
One thing that was a bit bothersome was the trash situation - you don’t have access to the garage so to take the trash out you have to walk all the way around the block. I think it only bothered me because we stayed for a while. Had it only been a few days and one trip to take the trash out it wouldn’t have been as annoying.
The water was hot for the showers and the refrigerator had a water filter which was great! We also really appreciated the work space and standing desk!
There wasn’t anything in the listing about pet fee or letting them know we would have our pet with us. It was posted as pets allowed and nothing else so I assumed the cost was baked in. When we arrived she asked for a $150 pet deposit which she said was refundable and a $60 additional cleaning fee. I’m glad I wasn’t strapped for cash because this was once we had already arrived and we would have been SOL if I didn’t have the extra money on hand that week. If you are bringing a pet just account for that extra cost and let her know before booking. I was grateful she could accommodate my service dog - just was confused on why it wasn’t noted in the listing to mention it upfront. If it was in the listing prior to my booking, I missed it entirely. Hopefully she adds it in 😊 she did send me the pet deposit back within 24 hours of our check out.
Overall, the stay was fine. Viktoriya was kind and allowed us to get some mail to the house while there - which was great because we were in the middle of a 6 month road trip and needed a few things.
The neighborhood felt safe and was fairly clean other than people didn’t clean up after their dogs
