My partner and I stayed at Frances' cottage for two and a half months, and Frances was a wonderful host who checked in on us the perfect number of times, and we really enjoyed our chats with her when she did come by or when we ran into her coming and going from the cottage. Her home is truly beautiful - rustic and comfortable but with all the amenities one could want from a modern home. the cottage is very spacious and the kitchen is fully stocked (minus condiments and spices). I loved the greenery around the cottage and sitting on the deck and enjoying a cup of tea in the mornings was a wonderful experience. The A/C gave up once in the Dallas heat, but Frances immediately bought us a temporary A/C unit and had the problem fixed very promptly. The cottage was far away enough from Downtown and Uptown that we could get away from the hustle and bustle but close enough that the commute to The Crescent was only ~10 minutes without traffic and ~20 to 25 with traffic. I recommend staying at Frances' cottage 100%!
