Great neighborhood, great house, great hosts! This will be our new favorite place to stay when we are in Dallas. Mike and Linda are definitely Superhosts – the cooktop died during the month we were there, and they replaced it the very next day!
The best word to describe this house is “comfortable.” It was clean and nicely furnished. The living room couch and chairs were great to sit in. The beds have high quality pillows and linens and were wonderful to sleep on. The kitchen was well stocked and has an incredible coffee/expresso machine, a great cooktop, and was equipped with many options for tea and coffee. The bathrooms have abundant hot water, plenty of fluffy towels, and luxurious shampoos and soaps.
There are three things potential guests should be aware of. 1) The DART train runs behind the house but creates minimal noise. We weren’t aware of it at night and enjoyed watching it go by during the day. 2) If you need a desk to work on, the only table is the dining room table, and the dining room is very dark and gets little natural day light. 3) There are huge televisions in the living room and each bedroom. Each offers cable but the selection is fairly basic; for example, there was no ESPN but there were several HBO options.
But none of these were serious concerns for us during the month we stayed here. It was a very homey place to be.
