Dallas Travel Forum

Hi, fellow travelers. I'm wondering of any of you can tell me of a fairly decent and low-cost place that I can rent for the month of April only. It needs to be close to the DART busline and not too far from the downtown area (or at least kind of easy to get there). It will be just myself; I don't want to spend over $500. What do you recommend? And thanks to all of you in advance!!

I have to admit that I can't imagine any place that you would want to stay that would be anywhere near $500/month. Of course, since I live here, I don't have this issue come up, but, still, a long term suite would surely be $70/day (you know, the sort of place that comes with a kitchen), and a hotel would be more expensive.

In addition, either you need to be close to downtown, or on the Dart light rail line. We have it here in Richardson, but there aren't too many such places all that close to the rail line...well, maybe someone else will have an idea...

Are you coming on business? Perhaps your business associates can spend some time looking for a room somewhere...

Mermaid,

Your price range is probably going to price you out of any decent place downtown. There are a couple of options you may want to pursue. Global Freeloaders and Couch Surfing.com are a couple good ones to meet people that might let you stay for that time period. I would offer you a room at my house for less than $500 a month if you are only here that long, but I am not convenient to the DART in Allen.
