The space is great for large groups visiting Dallas! We had a group of 10 (5 couples) staying at Madeline's and the bedrooms, # of bathrooms, kitchen, and living/dining areas fit us all very comfortably. I have no complaints about the house itself, it was clean, cute, accommodating, and close to the things we came to Dallas for. My only issue, and probably the reason I wouldn't book again, is the constant messaging you get from the host throughout the weekend. The messages were reminding us of the rules which we had already read in the listing when we booked and then again in the link that Madeline sends out prior to the stay. One message that really bothered us was about the AC. We are also from Texas and Airbnb hosts so we understand the stress that our ACs have been under with this heat but the temperature recomendation/rule was not included amongst the others on her listing and therefore the threat of us having to pay to replace and/or repair the AC if something were to happen was off-putting to us but it's also not permissable according to Airbnb. Because the this new rule was not in the listing prior to us booking, we could not be held responsible for those particular damages. This message is what kicked off our trip and it didn't exactly set a great tone for our experience at this Airbnb. I think all in all, myself and all our guests felt the weight of the rules (and their costly consequences) because of the constant reminders and it left us all feeling uncomfortable and was an interruption to the weekend with friends.
Our complaint is definitely a personal preference. If daily messages from the host don't bother you then I would definitely say book this place- it will check all your needs and serves it's purpose as a spacious, affordable place in Dallas.
