A Nice Space, But Lower Your Expectations
I stayed at this apartment on Park Ave, and the interior decor was nice. I like the vibe and furntiture. The closets are spacious, and the kitchen is updated for all the comforts. So glad there's a water filter pitcher on site as it's not always wise to drink Dallas's tap water. The bathroom is older, but nice.
I struggled throughout my stay, though. There was a spot cooler in the living room, so I didn't check the thermostat until I was leaving. It was set at 55. Due to this, the apartment held moisture, so the bedding was damp. Also, a rug in the bedroom would be a huge help in keeping the sound from echoing.
When I woke up in the morning, there were bugs in the kitchen. Mostly mosquitos, but there was one that I wasn't quite sure about, so it was released outside the apartment.
I was in town for my friend's wedding, so I basically just slept there. Each time I walked back in the space, there was a mildew smell. I did make the manager aware.
If you're familiar with Dallas, then you know a lot of the current apartments in certain areas used to be hotels back in the day. This is accurate for the location, so don't be concerned at the older exterior.
I think a couple of things could be communicated better (such as the thermostat, when to use the spot cooler) and a couple additional items could help (rug in the bedroom, de-humidifier for the space). Overall, though, it's a cool spot for a longer stay, but I'd recommend a hotel for a short stay.
