The price is great, and the proximity to downtown/Deep Ellum is fantastic. There’s always something to do or trendy restaurants to explore in the area. If you’re here for work, I would absolutely recommend that you take advantage of the gorgeous coworking space in the same building. The interior of the loft is pretty much exactly as pictured. With most of the essentials provided, I had a pleasant enough experience during my visit. Just a couple notes of warning though:
- The gated parking, while secure, has some flaws in the system. There is no way to punch a code from the inside, so if you’re still there after the coworking space is closed, you’re in for the night unless you have a friend on the outside to open the gate for you.
- The gated pedestrian entrance doesn’t lock from the outside. Anyone can open up the door and walk in. It will, however, lock you INSIDE. Fortunately, you can reach around/through the grates and let yourself out, which is subsequently how you will have to solve the lack of an interior keypad for the gate vehicular area. Break yourself out, walk to the exterior keypad, punch the code, race back to your car, and drive out before the gates close again.
Steven, the host, was super helpful and responsive. The issues described are known, and I hope that they’re able to be resolved for the next guest that visits.
