First, without a doubt, Ally was an extremely accommodating host. We needed to extend our stay, no problem and she even brought over some additional staples. She met us when we checked in, gave us the tour, texted a couple of times to check on us really, really a fantastic host.
The Property...the pictures do not do this little gem justice! We immediately felt at home, or as if we were staying over at a friends house. Ally has decorated nicely, with all the essentials. Full kitchen, with everything you need to stay at home and cook a meal, if that's what you're in to. We had our 4.5 yr old and our 20 month old, so we cooked several nights at home. Ally had several basic spices, toaster, coffee maker, with coffee, pots, pans and all the utensils. Bottled water & beer in the fridge and a few munchies already stocked. Lots of clean sheet sets, extra pillows, extra blankets to curl up with to watch TV. Two separate bedrooms and two separate bathrooms, really nice. Fresh towels, washer/dryer - it's really a home away from home. Oh yes did I mention the back deck, with big pecan trees and lounge chairs?
The Neighborhood...this is one of the more desirable parts of Dallas. It's quiet and quaint, a true taste of Americana. Neighbors waved to us as though we had been part of the community for years. Very comfortable vibe. White Rock lake, the biking loop, walking trails and park are an easy walk down the hill. Casa Linda area, with grocery store, Starbucks and a few local restaurants are 1 mile away, Awesome. If you want to head to Lower Greenville, it's 6 miles away, 10 minute Uber ride. Dallas Arboretum, only 2 miles away.
This little house has a very warm and inviting feeling and Ally puts the cherry on top. Enjoy the real Dallas in Lake Highlands! We'll go back!
