We stayed at this home between June 4th and August 31st while we were waiting for our own home to be built. This home is not what we expected - it was much more! It's much bigger than what we expected. There is a large living room with main entry from your own private (dedicated driveway - just for your car, not shared). There's a separate large room (bonus room) with a table and sitting chairs that can be used as a game room or dining area or reading area, plus a fully stocked kitchen with all appliances (full sized, too), a bathroom with large walk-in shower, and a very large bedroom with ample closet space (2 closets - something we definitely needed). There is also more storage space in the 'bonus' room (a pantry area and wall cabinetry, etc).
Through the bonus room, there's another outside entry door that leads to a courtyard and our own private patio area with chairs that was behind a fence with a gate. There's a larger TV in the main living room and a smaller (Firestick) TV in the bedroom. There are ceiling fans in the living room and bedroom. It's really a home all unto itself, and extremely private. I even had the newspaper delivered to our driveway daily. It really felt like home.
The hosts are extremely friendly and responsive. When we arrived, the only thing lacking in our house was a toaster, and when we asked about one, a new one was delivered to our door the next day. Waiting for us inside the home was a fresh bag of Starbucks coffee and other treats and all the amenities of home. The home itself is a vintage cottage with hardwood floors and cedar ceiling and it was extremely comfortable and accommodating. There are books and board games for both adults and children, as well as toys for children (even a portable crib), and I cannot say enough good things about this rental home.
The biggest surprise of all was the neighborhood. This rental home is situated a few blocks from the Fort Worth Zoo (the neighborhood is directly adjacent to the Zoo grounds), and this area is both culturally and historically significant. The homes are magnificent and the neighborhood is picturesque and safe, and the trees are so large, they cover the roads from side to side. There are parks and even a community pool within walking distance. The home is less than 5 minutes from Fort Worth's downtown area, and a few more minutes from there are The Stockyards.
Complimenting all of this is the Trinity River which winds its way through the area and very near to the property on its way through the City, and there are an enormous amount of parks and walking/biking trails all up and down the banks of the Trinity River. It was an awesome Summer being here, and we'll never forget our time here.
