I stay with several hosts a year on writing retreats and Carolina's place is now one of my favorites. Most everything in the kitchen and bath is new (the shower may be the best I've ever used, as good as some nice hotels), and she's done a great job with the layout. I'm a Dallasite, and her neighborhood, called LIttle Forest Hills, is a very popular area near a big lake with lots of amenities, not to mention the Dallas Arboretum. I'll be back.
