Shelby is a very responsive host. The area is in a transitional part of Dallas, but it was fine. The car gate gave an appreciated added level of security. There is abundant room to park a car. The weather was extremely hot (temps in the 100-105° range for highs) during our stay and we found that the rooms on the “edges” of the house did not cool as well the central part of the house; but it was still fine. The house itself is pretty, very clean, and has lots of natural light. The kitchen is adequate for simple cooking. A pizza pan/cookie sheet and some kitchen towels would be a nice addition. We appreciated the Keurig, tea kettle, Brita filter and regular coffee pot! The house is about a 5-minute drive to Baylor Scott & White Hospital which was very convenient for our purposes.
