"We were on a one-week visit to Dallas and decided we wanted to try something different for part of our visit. Although we ended up missing our first night (the day before Thanksgiving, we got caught in traffic and didn't make it there), we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Alla's. I can most definitely say that I have never been received at the door with a huge hug at any hotel I have been in but Alla not only did that but made us feel like we deserved one. We were made to feel welcome, the house itself was amazing and the breakfast wonderful!!! Alla's enthusiasm is so wonderful--we both felt that we were long lost friends who had finally come home!!!!"
