Patrick’s place is exactly as pictured....immaculate, comfy, homey feeling, and spacious....perhaps a bit more spacious than it appears on the pics. The bedrooms are large and the beds super comfy! Totally loved the ceiling fans in the bedrooms, which allowed me to stay cool, while others in my party upped the overall temperature in the house. This is an older home, as you can see on the pics, but very well kept and lovely. The beautiful hardwoods and choice of decor makes for a highly pleasant ambiance. The old fashion swing on the front porch IS EVERYTHING! Nothing like sitting out there during the cool of the day or late at night.
When approaching the neighborhood, you will see there is a “mix” of socio economic levels. A couple of neighboring streets are not as savory as I would prefer. Even so, the next block contains brand new upscale apartments. and the next, older well kept inviting homes. The street Patrick’s home is on, is neat and quiet, for the most part. Parking in front on the house on the street was not an issue for us, having 2 cars and having stayed a week. Only one night did we not have a space in front for both cars. However, there is room behind the home in a short driveway for at least 2 cars.
This home is only a hop, skip, and a jump from just about anyplace you would need to go: Target, Walmart, shopping centers, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, grocery stores, convenient stores, dollar stores, car washes and more. There are a few places within walking distance, but considering the Texas heat and the diverse population (from retired to young professionals, to homeless, as it appeared), we chose to drive.
Lastly, I appreciated: Patrick’s quick responses to the one or two questions I had; a few extra treats left in the fridge (like bottled water); and also the ease of checking in. A digital code was sent on the day of our arrival, punched it in on the door display, and voila! We were in. Didn’t have to worry about keeping up with a key or getting locked out.
Three of us enjoyed this spot and all three would consider returning on our next visit to Dallas.
