Liked: Communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
When we first arrived at the check in time, the cleaning crew was still working. This made it difficult to relax after a long travel day. The house was incredibly cluttered with personal items. It felt a bit claustrophobic. We did, however, appreciate the close proximity to the SMU campus. At night, the street and highway noise was more than expected.

Great location plus everything we needed

The place is across from the SMU football stadium and a short walk to most of the campus. On a busy road (Mockingbird), the house had everything we needed - lots of room, four bedrooms with comfortable beds, etc. All as the online listing states. The host was friendly, welcoming and easy to reach as needed. Thank you!

Best SMU location ever!

This beautiful 4 bedroom home is literally a few steps away from the SMU football stadium. We had our SMU 35th reunion, and this spot couldn’t have been more perfect! We enjoyed having a lovely living space, kitchen, bedrooms etc and parking. We loved our morning walks around Highland Park and to coffee at Starbucks! Thank you for a fabulous stay! We can’t wait to stay here again!!
