Sarah and Ty's place is in a great location, less than 10 minutes to downtown Fort Worth and plenty of other local attractions, and was a good price if you're okay with sacrificing luxury for affordability.
It was a little tricky to find as it's hidden behind the main house, as described in the listing, but as long as you know that you shouldn't have too much trouble.
I requested an early check-in time shortly after booking so I could get my family settled and 2-year-old son down for his nap before heading to my afternoon conference. Understandably, Ty said to check back closer to our travel dates. I did so with the following message:
Jeremy 12:04 PM
Hello, would an early check in at around 1pm work?
Ty 12:06 PM
There is a guest the night before you, but we will do our absolute best to have everything cleaned and ready by 1pm for you.
I wrongly assumed that meant we were good to go, or at least if it ended up not being OK that we would hear back differently, and so we showed up a little after 1. After fully unloading our car, Sarah knocked on the door and informed us that check-in time was actually 3pm, that she hadn't had the chance to clean yet, and that we would have to leave until she was finished. She was at least willing to let us leave our bags there while she cleaned, and let me change before I headed to my conference and my family left to run errands. Needless to say, my son did not get a nap.
The place has all the basics- stove, microwave, mini-fridge, keurig machine, and stocked with the necessary dishes, flatware, etc.
There was a noticeable musty smell in the bedroom, possibly from the window air conditioning units, but it wasn't unbearable though those with a sensitivity might find it so. This could also be attributable to the fact that it was rainy for most of our stay.
Finally, be careful with the wooden staircase at the front door as it is loose and a bit wobbly.
Overall, great location for the money.
