This is a charming, fantastically located rental for anyone visiting Southern Methodist University (or Dallas in general). Just one exit from SMU, a short walking distance to shops and good dining, and yet in a lovely, shady, residential area. Access and parking are wonderful: we really appreciated being able to come and go so easily.
The decor is well-selected (love the Dallas landmarks sketch in the bathroom) and the furniture and beds (including the sofa bed!) are all very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with very nice dishes and utensils and cooking gear (bring your own decaf coffee or spices, though).
While we anticipated a weekend spent relaxing at the guesthouse (we do worry about covid), we actually ended up doing several things out and about that we can recommend: take a walk on the amazingly maintained Katy Trail, just across the freeway. Hit The Old Monk (two blocks away) on a weekday morning for a quiet, no-crowd meal of breakfast tacos, avocado toast, scones and lavender latte. And if you can, go see Romeo and Juliet at the outdoor Samuell-Grand Ampitheater.
Thank you, Annette, for making your guesthouse available. It was perfect for us this weekend.
