Pros
1. This place is located close to downtown Dallas , and close to restaurants which was very convenient for us.
2. The AC was up and running - very much needed for the Dallas heat
Cons
1. The outside photos on the app look nothing like what we saw when we got there. The look and colors of the building are totally different which made us doubt if we were in the right place. We had to walk around and try to see if we could find the indicated unit
2. You can only park in this complex for 3 days in a row. You have to register your car everyday to park in the complex. After 3 days you have to wait for 72 hours before you can register your vehicle again. During the 72 hours you have to park on the street which can be quite a walk from the unit - especially in the heat. The parking situation was not meant clear to us - it just indicated the unit comes with parking and we had to learn the hard way when we couldn't register our car after day 3.
3. The unit is located in a maze (very huge) of an apartment complex. There's an indication that you will have access to a pool and a gym but these were in the second phase of the apartment complex which is almost a mile away. There's no map/instructions to help you figure where things are. You also are warned not to go to the lease office for anything so you cant go ask. The host said she'll look to see if there's a map - didn't hear back.
4. There were clumps of hair on the bedroom carpet floor. On first day I wore socks so I never noticed them. On day two I could barely take a step without my toes getting caught in hair. This was clearly not my or my husband's hair type (he has short hair). I reached out to the host and send photos. Instead of taking ownership she turned around to blame me for not telling her on day 1. She said she didn't know where the hair had come from. She offered to send a lady to clean but I didn't respond because I had a very busy week and didn't want to keep engaging with that type of energy.
5. The bathroom was clogged from Day 1. We were standing in our own bath water when taking a shower. I send a message to the host but she never reached out about having someone come in to unclog the bathroom. I reminded her of the same on the last day and, in her true blame spirit, she said she was gonna send someone but never heard back from me. Am not sure if the cleaning lady was the one to unclog the bathroom as well.
6. The towels didn't smell fresh - if you gonna stay here please bring yours.
7. The fitted sheet on the bed was very thin and kept slipping off with every turn
8. The seats in the working area are not comfortable for long hours of sitting - if you will be working during your stay you might want to look elsewhere.
