I can not say enough wonderful things about the blue and yellow houses. I came into town last minute during a family emergency and landed in the middle of an ice storm. Katrina was so incredibly nice and accommodating during a difficult time. The houses were clean and cozy while the storm was raging and the neighborhood was perfect. Almost all the stores in the city were closed but a small coffee shop within walking distance (Davis street expresso) was open, within walking distance, and stocked some basic necessities along with delicious coffee. Not having to brave the treacherous roads was amazing. I’ll look forward to staying again when I next visit Dallas. Hopefully with better weather.
