"Good"

Dallas Oasis

10/10 Excellent

"10/10!! Exactly as advertised! WAYYYY better than a hotel. If you're looking for a place to stay, stop. This is the one. Heart of town, close to tons of attractions. Couldn't be happier ! The worst thing I can say is there was some minor cosmetic damage that I couldn't care less about. It was super convenient to come back to a house instead of some hotel room. Every night we had a parking spot right next to the apartment. Absolutely loved our stay. Very cool place to stay for a long weekend. Thank you so much to the host for making this place available and at such a reasonable price. We will be back!!!"
