I’m fascinated by Airbnb. People, letting other people stay in their homes (sometimes with their pets) kind of blows my mind. But the world seems to be a bit more trusting than me with their personal space (and their pets), and that rocks, especially when some of those personal spaces are as wonderfully welcoming and cool as the listings in Dallas.
So, if I weren’t lucky enough to reside in the Big D, and were planning a visit to our fair city this weekend, here are a few places I would very much like to rest my head.
