We were two senior couples in the Dallas area to visit an ill relative. The house was perfect for our needs. Location was very convenient. Communicating with Julie was great both before and during our stay. Immediate responses. I can see why she's a premier host! She checked with us beforehand to see if we'd like the sofa bed in the 3rd bedroom made up, and since my husband had just injured his shoulder and knee we said yes. That gave him a full bed to rest in without me accidentally bumping his injuries.
There was a chilled bottle of wine and wonderful treats waiting for us upon arrival. The kitchen was stocked with anything we needed, including coffee, teas, snacks, etc. The bathrooms as well provided anything you may have forgotten to pack. Such a thoughtful gesture!
The house was extremely clean, so no worries about the virus. We liked being able to pull into the garage as storms were in the area the first night and we were in a brand new car. The covered patio was a nice outdoor space, overlooking purple irises in the backyard.
The only change I would make is seating in the living room. There were 2 very comfortable loungers and a recliner. However, since there was 4 of us, Julie brought an armchair in from a bedroom so we all 4 would have seating. A couple of couches or a sectional would be more practical.
We plan to return in a few months, and hope Julie's home is available again at that time. I would plan to always stay there if in the Dallas area.
