Came to Fort Worth for a concert at Dickies Arena and found this place on VRBO—what a steal! The location is super convenient, about as central as you could ask for, especially for the price. The unit was nice, clean, cute, and comfortable. The AC works AMAZING, all of the appliances were in great condition, the bed was huge and comfy, the walk-in closet was clutch, and covered parking was a huge plus.
The Magnolia Street area ended up being one of our favorite parts. There are several great spots within walking distance, and the area is very vegan-, gluten-free-, and gluten-friendly. Cherry Coffee Shop and Crude Coffee are both a MUST, and Salsa Limón was insanely good. We even ended up getting an impromptu tattoo from Blake at Heartless Tattoo, which is located inside the hair salon in the same shopping strip. He was super fast, very affordable, and as nice as could be!
A couple little tips for anyone staying here: if you’re in the ground-level unit, ignore the instructions that say there are “two ways” to enter the building and just go STRAIGHT to the unit door inside the parking garage. 😂 We arrived at night and lugged our bags up and down the stairs confused as heck trying to find a first-floor entrance after going through the main entrance. The main entrance is basically just staircases leading to the second- and third-floor units.
Also, the keypads at the main entrance and upper floors look like hotel-style card scanners, but they’re actually digital touchscreens and will light up when you touch them. The keypad on the actual unit door is different and has regular buttons. When you leave, just shut the door and press the little cog/wheel button on that keypad to lock it. That part wasn’t included in the instructions we received, so hopefully this saves someone else some confusion!
The unit was mostly very quiet. The AC is a little startling when it kicks on, and you can hear the keypad beep if someone enters through the main entrance, but that was really it. We couldn’t hear people walking around or much noise from the other units.
Would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend if you want something affordable, comfortable, walkable, and centrally located in Fort Worth!
