In short: a real gem, and the hosts are truly exceptional. The space and entire experience exceeded my expectations. A peak Airbnb experience. More details below.
LOCATION: A short drive (5 minutes) to two of Dallas's treasures: White Rock Lake and the Dallas Arboretum. If you're a nature lover, or just looking to enjoy the sun while in the South, White Rock Lake is the perfect place to walk, run, or watch a sunset. The Arboretum is big, immaculate, and entirely worth a visit (make sure to check pricing -- including parking fee -- before you go). The space is in a residential neighborhood, adjacent to a couple of churches. I was driving while visiting, but it didn't strike me that there was much within walking distance.
SPACE: You're staying in a big loft that is smartly set up with a bed, two recliners (and other comfortable chairs), a kitchen table and chairs, bathroom, desk and chair for working, TV, large walk-in closet, dresser, long mirror, end tables, etc.. (There isn't a couch in the space, in case that matters to you.) It is laid out in a way so each part of the open loft somehow feels distinct. The hosts have paid attention to the details here -- memory foam mattress cover, soft sheets, toaster, coffee maker, kitchen plates and utensils, Roku, snacks, water, laundry (just outside the unit). In literally any drawer you open, you find something and think, "Oh, that is great that this is here." There is ample storage space so you won't have to wonder where to put clothes, luggage, etc. Also, little things like where and how the lights and the heating/cooling are set up are all configured in a way for ease and comfort. You have a separate entrance and easy access up a flight of stairs to the space. There is a private driveway so you literally drive up to the door.
HOSTS: Leonard and Veta are truly thoughtful, attentive, and respectful of you and the space. You can tell they have put their hearts and souls into the space and into being hosts and it shows. I didn't need to ask for anything as I was visiting family nearby, but I know they would have been more than accommodating.
