The hype
Reviewers universally obsess over the 'thoughtful decor' and 'spotless' cleanliness, calling it a 'gem' that feels more like a home than a hotel.
Casa Duro
$400-600 / noite
Reservar se You want a maximalist, European-style apartment directly above one of Dallas's hottest Italian restaurants.
Por Que As Pessoas Adoram
- Interiors that feel like a wealthy eccentric's Italian pied-à-terre, not a hotel
- VIP access to reservations at Sister (the impossible-to-get-into restaurant downstairs)
- Walkable access to Lower Greenville's best bars and shops without driving
Resumo Rápido: It's a stunningly designed three-room guesthouse where you trade a front desk and lobby for a killer location and serious style.
Revisado por @Askfoodb: I stayed in this hidden apartment above Sister restaurant and it was such a cool experience. The maximalist decor is a total mood, and having my morning coffee on that balcony watching the neighborhood wake up was the highlight of my trip.
