Karen’s place was great. It was in a safe, quiet, and beautiful neighborhood. Karen is also a very nice host. There’s a bus nearby that will take you to downtown Dallas. Food places and nightlife scenes are about 10-15 mins via car or bus in Deep Ellum or Greensville such as Freeman cafe, Joy Macarons, Hattie B’s, The Biscuit Bar just to make a few.
Bus transportation tickets can be purchased via the Go Pass app. The bus times are long (and traceable via the app) but Uber is also accessible and ranges from $8-$15 from Karen places to these local spots. I did both Uber and public transportation so it’s doable! The only minor thing I did wish she had was coffee and a light snacks. Nonetheless, this place is a 5 star. The airport was about 25-30 mins both can be taken with Uber or by the train.
There’s heat from the air conditioner which was perfect and if you’re working from home you may need the hotspot for the extra wifi connection.
