I would not recommend this accommodation to a friend.
The house was not clean. Lupe reuses trash bags, so the trash bags in her house smell and have debris in them. If you throw away something she deems recyclable, she will dig through the trash to pull it out (microwave dinner containers, peanut butter jar, eggshells). These two points really grossed me out. Once she explained that her friend feeds the shells to his chickens, I was more than happy to reserve them.
She also prepares food directly on the counter then does not wipe it up, so I always did a "pre-clean" before I started cooking, since the counters are usually dirty. She also leaves food to rot in the sink.
Something that really bothered me is that she did not provide toilet paper in order to "train" me to use the bidet. I did not want to learn how to use the bidet. Only after I said it made me uncomfortable did she provide half a roll of TP.
She also had a puppy which is not housebroken, and there will be dog urine/feces left on the floor for days on end. Same with soiled puppy pads. Good luck sleeping in with two yappy dogs.
Lupe is home a lot, so I was not able to have much time by myself. As an introvert, I really just wanted quiet to decompress after the day and did not get that.
The room does not have a lock on the entrance, and you have to walk right past Lupe to get in. The doors are made of glass. Pretty awkward.
Overall, I found the host to be a bit overwhelming and the house to be below my cleanliness standards. If you want to be close to downtown Dallas, it is a good price and does accommodate pets. I was staying for 11 weeks, and Lupe did work with me to pay her every paycheck, which was nice.
