Nicole and her co-host Rosie were very accommodating! They communicated well before we even got there. I have a toddler, so they let me know all the items they would have for him so I did not have to pack it.
Once we arrived the directions and house rules were simple to follow. They seemingly thought of everything! The house was perfect for my teen and her friends with a bunk room and all the toddler items one could need. The place is really set up perfectly for a temporary home. The amenities were all really nice (fluffy towel, quality tea etc). The bath tub is a very nice one to take a bath it has a little shelf behind it.
There are only two things I would call out: #1 message the host to let them know what time you plan to arrive and what temperature you want the home to be. They have a smart thermostat that detects when the home is empty and turns off the AC. It takes about 5 hours to cool from 80 down to 70.
#2 this house is not in deep Ellum proper. It’s in a crowded low income neighborhood a few minutes from deep ellum. Most of the neighbors seemed fairly nice, but we did see several first responders, loud squealing vehicles and folks who seemed to be homeless. We did not have any issues, but this was a bit unnerving for a mom with four kids.
Overall, I highly recommend this location for a couple or a group of friends. It’s a great location and a quality home at an affordable price!
