This was an ideal location for me. All things I needed were within walking distance: excellent grocery store at Central Market on Greenville; Metro stop; SMU campus; at least four excellent restaurants; movie theater; freeway to Ft. Worth and Arlington; and an appealing bike path, which I didn't use. It was easy to take Metro downtown to see Dealey Plaza and the JFK museum. The Mockingbird apartment complex, is a large, worn, and barely maintained building. One morning there was a pile of puke on the floor outside the elevator. The next day the elevator broke. There was another, perfectly fine elevator close by, though I had to find it on my own. The building and apartment are more suitable for college kids and recent grads. The apartment needs upkeep: my shower handle was loose and difficult to manage; handles on kitchen cabinets were broken; condensation dripped from the ceiling vent in the other bathroom; I had trouble with the remote and for some reason, on the third or fourth day I couldn't connect to Netflix and had to login online; the queen bed frame is broken; the king mattress needs to be turned because too many people have sat on the edge. However, I did sleep well. It was very quiet. I'm used to having different amenities in an AirB&B, things like Kuerig cups (no regular coffee machine here). It felt more like a satisfactory hotel room than anything else.
