Bardo Lofts Innenhof Suite #104

We loved the architecture and interior design. The private courtyard was charming and the place had everything we needed to cook and wash clothes for our stay. It was a very short walk to the Bishop Arts and was surprisingly quiet, especially at night! We easily were able to walk to the CVS, the local park and then Swirled Peace (highly recommended!!), all in one outing! Unfortunately, the unit smelled strongly of weed when we first arrived. I played text tag with the host for hours and their internal communications seemed a bit lacking. The host apparently attempted to meet us but didn't tell us they were coming, so my husband and I missed them because we had gone out to dinner. Thankfully, the smell somewhat dissipated by the time we got back to the unit because I was still not getting any resolution from the host after several back & forths. Quite disappointing they didn't have any compensation for this annoying inconvenience. They were, however, quick to take care of a car that was parked uncomfortably close to our courtyard. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay and would recommended it for the unique architecture & quiet nights, as long as one was able to deal with a few potential annoyances.

Close to downtown Dallas. Nice part of town. Alex was quick to respond with questions.

Great location and communication.

First off the good things. This rental is in a really cool area of Dallas. Lots of good restaurants and shops, bars etc. And the owner does list lots of things to do, transportation options, and local facts and history in a binder in the unit. The unit is really small but clean. Smaller than most motel rooms, but contains all the things you might need. as listed. I could not get the guest wifi to work, and tried calling the phone but was told to use the app, but since I now get there on a Sunday night there was no response anyway. If you rent this unit understand that the owner is extremey inflexible to any changes to your schedule. My flight was cancelled due to Dallas weather at the last moment, and the airline and car rental just rescheduled me, but nothing doing with this place. I rquested a change date if the room wasnt rented already. I could see it if was rented already but it wasnt. The owner quoted his 5 day no refund rule. OK I get it, Im not requesting a refund anyway. So I got to use the last 2 of the 5 nights I had rented. The owner makes sure you know all the fines and tresspassing charges you will be subject to if you dont leave exactly on time, have a party, breakage,; the usual things too. Im not sure what kind of party you could have in that small of space but its not allowed and of course a fine. You can stay an extra hour for $40 if arranged a day in advance? Ive not seen this much emphasis on rules, fines, tresspassing charges etc, but with the cost plus all of vrbo fees, and inflexibility to deal with common traveling issues, a motel would have been the better option.

The property was just as described...lovely loft apartment with everything you need and the location couldn't have been better! Walking distance to the Bishop Arts District where you could find great food. Communication with the host was top notch!
