Plano
Overview
Please note: For the convenience and safety of all concerned a background security check is required and must be completed 5 - 7 days prior to arrival. I prefer students or others relocating to the area requiring temporary housing while attending classes or working locally. I do not offer lodging to local residents in transition. Two available bedrooms with private baths in a single family home located in the Deerfield development in Plano Texas. Continental breakfast and use of kitchen and laundry facilities included. Nearby shopping malls, churches, recreation centers, schools, restaurants, community colleges, grocery stores and banks within walking distance. I also provide free transportation to local grocery stores once a week upon request. This is a quiet neighborhood with 24 hour security patrols and surveillance, a private park and clubhouse with walking and biking trails throughout the surrounding area. Access to transportation is available via bus, Uber and train. I am an empty nester with three adult children. My daughter is a PHD who lives and works in Japan. My youngest son is an Officer in the US Army stationed in Fort Hood Texas. My oldest son and his family live in nearby McKinney, Texas. I have an online business and work from home. I attend a nearby Christian church, maintain a clean organized non-smoking household and enjoy the company of friends and family. Let me know of any special dietary restrictions or transportation requirements you may have in advance of your stay and I will make every effort to accommodate them whenever possible.
