Pros: cute place, 10/10 location and neighborhood, comfy bed, ample towels and toiletries, off-street parking spot.
Cons: there was zero communication from the hosts leading up to our stay, all we had was the door code that was pre-popped into the app. When we arrived, the place had not been cleaned after the prior guests. They were quick to reply and offered us a round of drinks at the restaurant down the street that they own (which is a great spot btw), and the place was quickly cleaned. Then, we received check in instructions. We appreciated the quick clean, but it was evident that it was not thorough. For example, there was a ton of dust and we even found a forgotten hot pocket in the microwave… the dirty laundry from the last guests was left at the bottom of the stairs, along with a ton of random boxes, toilet paper, paper towels, etc. We were so tired from traveling that we did not want to vacate again and needed to crash.
The place also does not have heating (which is explained accurately in the listing), but anytime we tried to use the supplied space heater, the breaker would trip and the power would go out. The hosts were very quick to come out and flip the breaker both times (we did not have access to the fuse box), which was most appreciated, but it was a frigid stay since it was in the 20s at night that week in Dallas. There was not any other solution provided and there was only one light blanket.
This appears to be a new property for hosts who have another successful property in the neighborhood, so I’m sure with time things will get better.
