The home is beautiful and is as pictured. Very spacious. Overall, we had a decent stay.
There’s three bedrooms and a daybed at the top of the stairs. The master bathroom is impeccable, specifically the shower. The two bedrooms have a connecting bathroom with a sink on both sides and a shower in the middle. The rooms are spacious.
We had a few issues on our stay (my only complaints):
1. The kitchen counters and fridge hadn’t been wiped clean. Very visible dark crumbs on a light counter.
2. The patio door was unlocked, although guests are supposed to lock before checkout.
3. It was 97 degrees in Dallas and 77 degrees in the house. The house didn’t cool until the evening. Which made it uncomfortable at times when trying to relax.
The plus:
1. In an urban neighborhood, mins from downtown. Despite the reviews about neighborhood safety, it’s fine. Urban doesn’t equate to dangerous.
2. It really is a beautiful home w/ smart lock entry.
3. We only had three people and we all had more than enough space. 6-8 people would definitely be comfortable.
4. The decorations are pretty cool. They have a theme and it’s cute. Not just thrown together.
5. The master shower. My God. Amazing.
The not-so-plus:
1. Don’t expect extra amenities like water or toiletries. Storage wise, the house is empty except for towels, tissue, and some dishes.
2. The tv in the living room is small. For the size of the living room and distance to the couch, a larger TV would be so much better.
3. The beds are basic spring mattresses and the frames are standard. Don’t expect much. You’re not going to get hotel sleep or comfort from the beds - which is probably most disappointing.
Overall, beautiful and home. Driving distance close to the bar and restaurant scenes downtown. I’d say it’s a family friendly home. That said, you’re paying mostly for how beautiful the house is and the location. The “stay” experience is average/standard. If you need a rental to be on the scene fast and hang with friends, and you are just here for vibes, I recommend this rental for you for sure. However, if you’re looking for comfort and the best rest in bed on vacay, this isn’t the rental for you.
3.5/5
