I did not actually meet the host however we did speak and Ralph did everything in his power to make sure I was comfortable and things were working properly. They assisted me prior to my arrival by receiving mailed boxes and making sure they were in the apartment by the time I arrived. The apartment was as described. The wifi connection was not amazing tho, it kept going on and off the entire time I was there. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook. The LOCATION was PERFECT!!! easy access to shops and restaurants. Also super easy transportation system in Dallas. I took the Dart bus and the Dart train, and it was very easy and convenient. The only issue I had was the stairs to enter the 2nd floor were very difficult with heavy luggage for a petite female. Besides that, I would recommend staying here.
