I rented this place for overflow guest at Christmas. I live close by and know the area very well. I don't think they stress enough what a great location this place is in. It is in safe, well established older neighborhood. You can walk to good restaurants and two really good grocery stores. There is also a gym you can walk to that my guest enjoyed for a nominal fee. If your looking for a place close to SMU this is so close - 10 min and if you make all the traffic lights maybe even less. It is so convenient to down town - 15 to 20 mins. Less then30 min to Love Field Airport. It is an overall great central location in the city!
