It was my first time staying at an Airbnb in Dallas and I did book it last minute, which might be why this place was still available. From the photos it looked very upscale and considering what I was paying per night, I expected upscale. Also it’s in a neighborhood with large nice houses.
But I was disappointed. This place is basically a concrete, shack off of an alleyway. Everything in the place is bottom of the barrel. I could’ve stayed in a very nice hotel in Dallas for what I paid for this place.
In the shower, the rack that holds all of the shampoo was hanging precipitously forward so that items would fall out. The clear shower curtain inside is not wide enough for the entire shower. There was no fan in the bathroom. The lighting in the bathroom is poor which made it hard to put on make up, and there’s hardly any counter space. One of the closet knobs came off when I tried to use it to open the closet door. The Roku did not work well, I was unable to download apps and login to any of my subscriptions. One of the remotes didn’t work. When I tried to open the curtains in the bedroom, the curtain rod came apart and fell on me. I got the impression that everything is done as cheaply as possible.
In fairness, there were some positives. The wifi is fabulous and reliable. The hosts were very nice, accommodating, and responsive. The bed was very comfortable and clean. The air conditioner worked well, there was a coffee maker with coffee, and a filtered water pitcher. I felt safe in the neighborhood which is important to me since I usually travel alone. And it was pretty clean. But I definitely will not be back.
