Val was a very gracious host who was very accommodating to my ever changing arrival date/time. The unit was very clean, comfortable, and exactly as advertised in the pictures. Fortunately I was close to family and had access to great coffee, but if you're a grind your beans every morning kind of person like I am, you will definitely appreciate the coffee maker, French press, and moka pot in the unit. There is no television in the rental, but I rarely watch TV on vacation so it wasn't an issue for me, however I realize it may be a must have for some. It is located off a main road and there is some traffic noise, but it didn't affect my stay. If you're there to enjoy the area, the walk to the Bishop Arts District is about 20 minutes, or its a quick 4 minute drive. Overall I had a very good experience. I will definitely seek out one of Val's properties when I'm back in Dallas.
