Vickie's garage apartment is a quiet, comfortable place to stay with a great location: the Modern Art museum is only 2 miles away--I could've walked if the weather had been cooler--and the stockyard district and downtown were 15 minutes away by car. Excellent bistros were within easy walking distance: Jazz Café (great Greek food and sandwiches) and a wine bar on Camp Bowie.

The apartment features a lovely, well-shaded balcony that overlooks a Provencal-style garden: I enjoyed taking my morning coffee there, as the temperature was very pleasant in the mornings. The immediate neighborhood is safe for walking around, very pretty with well-shaded streets and little traffic, and a lot of interesting older houses in the process of being remodeled.

The accommodations are something like being aboard a well-appointed little yacht, which I found very cozy. Vicki provided a delightful selection of eatables in the kitchenette from which I made myself several good continental breakfasts.

All in all you will be paying Motel 6 prices for lodgings that are much quitter, safer, more comfortable and better-situated than any chain motel can provide--which is the Airbnb experience, after all!
