Robert offered the perfect lodging for my needs! A solo traveler, I was mostly passing through for business but decided to make an evening of it in Fort Worth, checking out the symphony as well as the food and beers at The Flying Saucer (a recommendation of Robert's). His place is close to the action; I could easily have driven, but the cab fare was only about $10 to Sundance Square. It's a tidy, cozy space in a lovely neighborhood. For my personal considerations, it had exactly the one thing I required: the place felt EXTREMELY secure. I needed to store my equipment (my livelihood!) someplace safe while I was about town, and you better believe that you won't find a bnb closer to the action that is basically hidden from the street view (which feels like part of a very safe neighborhood regardless) and tucked in behind the house and a gated driveway. I felt completely at liberty to enjoy my night off without casting so much as a moment's worry toward my belongings.

On a personal note, thank you to Robert for the enjoyable conversation! A veteran of both the military and business, his manner is kindly and his hospitality warm. If, like me, privacy and security are your priorities, I doubt you'll find a better option closer to downtown Fort Worth!
