Joe was great! From the beginning he was very responsive and pleasant. The apartment was just as described. Although someone in the neighborhood was revving their motor some late at night, the area was very quiet otherwise and we could hear the birds. The patio area was really nice and I wish we'd had more time there to enjoy it. There is a small step down into one of the bedrooms with the walk-in shower, so something to be aware of if you have anyone with mobility challenges. He gave us great ideas for looking at Christmas lights. He even had to-go cups so we made hot cocoa and took it with us the second night. All in all, it was a great place to stay with a great host and great location. We would gladly stay with Joe the next time we make it to Dallas.
