This place is a solid 4.5, I hate that I couldn't give it 4.5 stars. My 13 year old son said the house was "pog"...that is very high praise from Gen Z!
The house was good...the hard wood floors were beautiful, beds were super comfortable, the shower pressure amazing. We had no major issues, no bugs, great communication with the host. My son and I stayed here for 12 nights while he was in a clinical trial at UT Southwestern, just down the street. It was a great location for this.
There are a few things worth mentioning, which prevented me from giving it a full 5 stars. These are my personal views, others may not agree. The pictures posted of house make the place look large and spacious. However, there was sooo much more furniture in the house than in the pictures, so in reality, it looked and felt very small. Chairs partially blocked doors and we had to squeeze around all the furniture. The living room furniture was not comfortable to sit in, we didn't spend much time in there. Next, the decor was too much. There were so many pictures hung and leaning everywhere, and styles and cultures were so mixed that it was distracting. For example, here was a large novelty Egyptian sarcophagus placed next to a wooden screen with an Asian farming scene and African style sculpture. The pictures everywhere was another reason that it felt very small in the house.
Next, the bathroom...the shower door didn't close all the way, so there was leaking onto the floor. There was no bathmat, so I had to go out and buy one because the wet floor was super slippery. There was also no toilet paper roll holder, which us a personal pet peeve. And there was a giant (out of place) picture in the bathroom that prevented the door from opening all the way.
We cooked in every day, but there wasn't any measuring cups and barely any cookware. There was no dish soap or dishwasher detergent, had to buy a lot of non-food just to be able to cook in that kitchen and keep it clean.
There was a different distracting noise every night. Planes, cats, ducks, gun shots. Bring your ear plugs.
Also, if you stay here, don't park under the tree, sap drips from the tree. I've had 2 car washes and the sap is still there.
