Nicole is a super host for a reason. Our crew was 5 adults, a 1 year old and 3 medium dogs. When we walked in the house was clean and inviting. We did notice one major flaw right away. The listing had said the backyard was fully fenced and it was not, plus there were holes big enough for our pups to crawl under. I addressed the issues not expecting them to be fixed, but by the next day they had come to the property and completely fixed the issue! Above and beyond is how I would describe these hosts, they are responsive and care.
So now what you need to know about the stay.
The Good:
Centrally located. Seriously close to everything in Dallas and easy to get to and from places.
Affordable. For how nice the house is and how close it is and how many people it can sleep, plus accommodate dogs, you can’t beat it.
Excellent hosts. (Described above) one thing that stood out was there wasn’t a whole lot we HAD to do in order to check out which was convenient.
Has everything you might need if you forgot something or don’t want to pack a bunch of extra stuff. (We saw a stroller, pack and play and tons of other kid essentials) they also set out dog bowls for our pups. There was a washer and dryer plus what we needed to use it.
Comfortable. 5 adults, 3 dogs, and 1 child stayed comfortably. The beds were nice, bathrooms were great (we loved having a tub to bathe our 1 year old in) And after they fixed the fence the backyard was safe to let the dogs roam and stretch their legs a bit.
Need to know:
It is located on a pretty busy street so expect traffic all night (our room had a sound machine that almost covered all the traffic noise so it wasn’t awful)
The driveway is narrow but we fit a 4 door coupe and a mini van in no problem and it has a gate that can lock for some added security all around the property
I wouldn’t say the neighborhood was unsafe, but you aren’t in the suburbs, my father and mother in law took my 1 year old to a park around the corner, but we wanted to be in before dark.
BOTTOM LINE:
This is an excellent home in a super convenient location. The hosts bent over backwards to make sure my family and our dogs were happy. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. But note the few things that might not be for everyone.
