Great stay for the price!
Summary: great location right off of the highway. Walmart literally 2 minutes away. Downtown Dallas and Elum are 15 minutes or less away. You are not going to find a better option for this price. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a place that has easy access to highway to see all of what Dallas has to offer.
Pros: timely responses from hosts, clean apartment, smart TV, wifi, two passes for onsite parking, kitchen fully stocked with cooking utensils, toiletries and towels available, lots of closet space, ample natural light, balcony, and a variety of seating options.
Cons: decreased street lighting around surrounding neighborhood (brought our dog and it was pitch black once you leave the parking lot area), third floor with no elevator (not a deal breaker), no TV in the bedroom (not a deal breaker), and the hot water may take up to 5 minutes to heat up (turned on the shower then ironed my clothes to ensure I had hot water).
To note, I told my family members who are from Dallas where I was staying prior to our arrival. They warned me that the area was questionable. I actually felt really safe at the apartment because there was ample lighting in the parking lot. The streets off of the parking lot are not well lit, but most of the patrons that live in the surrounding neighborhoods were working families. I recommend this location because you are so close to so many parts of Dallas. In previous years, I have stayed in downtown Dallas (no parking), in Elum (foodie scene with no parking), and Fort Worth (45 minute commute). Of all of the places I just listed, this apartment was hands down the best. The kitchen and bathroom were fully stocked, and I didn't have to worry about parking or noisy neighbors. Hope this review helps and thanks for reading until the end.
Thank you.
