We recently stayed for 9 days in this modern, clean, and comfortable condo. Our host, David, was very responsive and accommodating to our requests. However, the condo is located in a commercial area near the SMU campus and right across the street from a popular sports bar/pub frequented by SMU students that stays open until 2am. Our first night there was a Saturday night and the noise coming from the outdoor deck was very loud. Throughout the next 9 days, the noise level from the bar and the surrounding commercial area varied. After contacting David about the noise, he quickly brought over a noise canceling machine that helped a lot.
There are other areas for improvement:
1. If you like to cook, it has a nice kitchen but lacked some basic amenities…baking pans, mixing bowls, kitchen towels, wine opener...to name a few. Upon request, our host, David, brought us what we needed the next day.
2. There are two very nice TVs but no instructions on how to use the remotes in the house manual. We couldn’t get the bedroom TV to work (it was plugged in to a dead outlet) and there was a missing remote for the living room TV. David brought us a new remote the next day and instructed us on how to use the two remotes.
3. A lamp on the nightstand in the bedroom would be nice. We used the desk lamp in the living room.
After a rocky start to our stay, the rest of the week was fine. For us, the condo was nice and comfortable, just located in the wrong neighborhood. David is a great host who met our requests promptly.
