My brief stay at Yvonne (after a somewhat long journey) was very delightful. Yvonne was probably the most endearing and friendliest host I have ever met (despite I had said so to multiple other lovable hosts -- Yvonne, her husband and the dog were special! ). The house and the neighborhood were beautiful, Being a short drive (or streetcar ride) from downtown Dallas, the place was close to major tourist attractions. The neighborhood felt safe as I walked back from the streetcar station near midnight. There were quite a few good restaurants and stores a few blocks away. The room was a spacious private suite that had everything -- bathtub, TV, workspace/desk, and amenities like coffee, tea, snacks, guides, and travel needs. The bed was so comfortable and carefully made, highlighting how cozy the room was. I would say Yvonne's place could easily beat many hotel stays because most of hotels wouldn't have that home feeling (or as comfortable beds, even at the five-star ones I stayed merely a week prior). Yvonne was very communicative and gave clear instructions to ensure that I felt smooth checking in and comfortable staying there. To me, Yvonne was passionate about welcoming travelers from different places in her retirement. Thanks Yvonne!
