This might be a little long but to sum it up… stay here!!
Pulling up, you’ll notice that the place looks just like the pictures. It’s quaint, manicured, and stately. Although it’s downtown, it’s just off a vibrant street and felt very safe. There are gates all around the property. Located in Oak Lawn, there is so much to walk to, see, and do. There’s even a CVS nearby, which we used a couple of times for quick needs. There’s street parking in front but also a gated car park in the rear with a designated spot. It proved handy to have multiple parking options depending on what way you came in or if you needed to make multiple trips to the car, which is what happened to us when we loaded and unloaded our bags. The instructions for check-in were very clear. Inside the place feels welcoming and Stan even left cookies out for us. We didn’t realize it was a duplex initially but we didn’t have any issues with sounds from neighbors or privacy. One sound we did notice, was from the airplanes given the proximity near Love Field Airport. But you’ll hear this anywhere downtown and you’ll get used to it by day 2. There are separate entrances and there are automated or manual blinds on every window. The decor accentuates the architecture and adds more character and comfort to the place - it really felt like a home. The attention to detail and quality really wowed us; there are Dyson fans and vacuums all around the house. Stan had multiple bouquets of fresh flowers, which I really enjoyed. All of the furniture was properly sized and fit into the rooms, it was all very comfortable and felt sturdy. The rooms were also nicely sized and the layout allowed for privacy. We had two teens that were able to have their separate sleeping spaces and an area to call their own. We didn’t feel crowded at all. The kitchen was stocked with everything you’d need and more. The bathroom was modern and updated but there’s only one, which sometimes became a challenge when multiple people needed to use the bathroom at the same time. The shower is also a little snug. Stan was responsive when we accidentally forgot the code to unlock the door. didn’t make us feel silly for not referring back to the check-in instructions. We didn’t end up bringing our dog but had we, he would have loved the yard to play in. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to stay again when we come back to Dallas. We‘ve already shared this place with a few friends because we enjoyed it so much.
