The location was perfect for us since we were hosting a book launch at the wonderful and unique Wild Detectives bookstore and bar on the same block. The hip neighborhood is rich with restaurants and shops; many, like Wild Detectives, are located in old bungalows, and the atmosphere is relaxed, creative, and congenial. A free trolley to downtown Dallas is only a block away. The apartment is ingeniously designed and efficient for a compact space. It is visually handsome, and the air conditioning is quiet and also efficient.
We were surprised to find in such a modern apartment that the mattress was saggy and lumpy—hopefully John and Erin will remedy that. I think the apartment is best for short stays. The very minimal space for clothing (no drawers) and inability to dry bath towels made our longer stay awkward.
