6/10 Okay

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.

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!!

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!
