We were driving through Dallas and needed a place to rest for the night. Deion's place was good but not great. We decided on Deion's place mostly because of the location and it was great! It's a short walk to Deep Ellum and near downtown Dallas. We didn't get a chance to explore Farmers Market because we got into town later in the evening and had to leave early the next morning to continue our drive. Deion was very accessible via message but check in could've been communicated a little more clearly. There is an app that needs to be downloaded and Deion gives you access to all of the apartment's entry points (garage, apartment door, common areas, etc.) through the app. It would have been helpful to have more detailed instructions/tips on the closest parking garage gate to enter, where to find the apartment from the visitor parking, and the names of the closest pedestrian entry points to the apartment. We got lucky with the garage and figured out where the apartment was, but ended up clicking open several different access points on the app because all of the signs for the pedestrian gates were facing the outside and we couldn't see them from the inside when trying to walk to Deep Ellum.
The apartment itself is more modern with nice upgrades than your standard apartment. However, there were moldy vegetables and random food left in the refrigerator when we arrived. The apartment is very sparsely decorated and bare bones which didn't matter too much to us. There is a strong smoke/weed smell but we got used to it after awhile. The bedsheets felt very old/used (lots of pilling) and could use replacing. The hand soap dispenser in the bathroom was empty and just for display. Instead, an already opened bar of hand soap were left out for us to use. All in all, I feel like the price we paid for Deion's place was mainly just for the location. It has the potential to be a great stay and worth the amount we paid. There could be more thoughtful and hospitable touches that could be done/added to make the price more worth it, but honestly, it was overpriced for what we got.
