CONGRATULATIONS! You can stop your search- you've just found THE BEST AirBnb Oaklawn has to offer!
I had the pleasure of being the first guest to occupy this wonderful townhome. If you don't want to read the remainder of my review- just know this: If the hosts will have me, this will always be my first choice when I am visiting Dallas!
THE HIGHLIGHTS:
-The hosts are phenomenal to work with; excellent communication and customer service. (Dare I say; the best hosts I've dealt with!)
-Everything was sparkling clean and looked just like the pictures.
-Furniture throughout the unit was clean and comfortable.
-Décor was stunning! (Very insta-friendly!)
-Street/Plane noise was minimal throughout the interior of the unit. (Know that this is not the case in most Oaklawn townhomes!)
-The true star of the show here is the luxurious master bathroom. The deep soaking tub encased in a large walk-in shower with dual shower heads (one sprayer, one rainfall) that get nice and hot with complimentary premium toiletries and super plush linens was *chef's kiss* perfect for my "spa-cation"!
-The rooftop deck was spectacular! Great city views and super cozy lounge furniture. Sun worshippers will adore the lounge chairs and lounge bed. I didn't get the opportunity to try out the color changing globe light, firepit or TV on the deck, but I imagine it gives ALL THE VIBES when in use.
-A variety of awesome food choices nearby! Bob's Steakhouse is right next door (about a 15 second walk!) and Uber Eats delivers the best Dallas has to offer, right to your doorstep. Coupled with the design of the townhome, this place is ideal for hosting a small dinner party.
-The table shuffleboard in the living room would be a riot for those traveling with guests! It's uniquely positioned right near the large windows overlooking the street; fun for people watching or for gathering a support street cheering squad while whooping your opponents!
-All beds had brand new Nectar mattresses and plush pillows that we're crazy comfortable. I slept like a baby!
THINGS TO NOTE:
-The turf on the rooftop deck gets incredibly hot during the day. Pack some lounge slippers/flip flops/slides for patio time! Additionally, you may want to consider packing a portable golf umbrella if you intend on spending time on the patio during the day as there is limited shade during the daylight hours. Another thing to be aware of is a slight slope to the deck where the bar table is located. Trust me when I say, you'll want to enjoy your glass of rose on the couch side of the deck! My shirt paid the price for that lesson.
-If you are unfamiliar with the area, know that you are directly under the flight path for Dallas Love Field. That makes the rooftop lots of fun for plane watchers (think Wayne's World) but for those not into it, know that the host provides a basket of complimentary earplugs.
-This will likely be irrelevant soon, however, the townhomes in this building were still undergoing construction as of mid June 2022. During my stay, there was a large construction vehicle parked in the alleyway as well as construction materials lined up along the fence that made it slightly challenging for uber to navigate. The only time I could hear work being down was when I was in the master bathroom/bedroom or on the rooftop. Construction was only done during daylight hours. I chose to mitigate the noise disturbance by sleeping in the guestroom and never heard a peep!
-Be prepared to feel a light sway in the building during stormy weather. I only noticed it when I was in bed. If you can keep a sense of humor about it, just think of it as the building rocking you to sleep. ;)
-For those who travel with their favorite coffee, know that the coffee machine is Keurig style only. However, the hosts provide an abundance of complimentary pods; each delicious!
-Also noted in the listing, but know that you will easily get your steps in (my legs were appreciative for the workout!) when you stay here. Three stair cases throughout the unit; not the place to take the grandparents or kiddos.
Lastly, I wanted to touch on a few minor hiccups incurred throughout my stay that were merely due to the fact that this was a brand new unit that may have been prematurely rented out due to circumstances outside of the hosts control. The only reason I am even bringing this up is to merely attest to INCREDIBLE customer service you will encounter from the host team should you have any issues. Noemi and her team reached out to me prior to my stay to inform me there would be a delay in check-in due to ongoing construction on the rooftop deck. On the day of check-in, the host team provided continuous updates and even offered to let me check-in at 4:00pm while the construction on the rooftop was still in process. As I was a solo-traveling female, I chose to refrain from checking-in until construction was complete so that I wouldn't have to be alone with the repair crew in the unit. After all was said and done, check-in was only delayed 4 and a half hours. Once I arrived at the unit, I discovered the electricity for the top floor was still disconnected and all of the electronic amenities were unusable as they had yet to be installed. However, the host team went above and beyond to make things right. Noemi raced up to the unit shortly before midnight (literally pulled up to the townhome in under a minute from the time I messaged the team!) to hook the electricity back up and graciously set-up the TV in the guest bedroom. Check this out- Noemi even offered to have a deadbolt installed on the front door as she knew safety was my highest priority. Talk about knocking it out the park! As I
