Sydney’s basement apartment was a wonderful home base for seeing Colorado. The space is clean, well-maintained, and all of the advertised amenities were provided. The location, while convenient, does have a few drawbacks. The alley where the parking space is located was difficult to get in and out of and felt a little unsafe, particularly at night. But we were thankful for the parking space because street parking in this area is ridiculous. The bedroom is really close to the street, and any noise at night on the street and sidewalk could be easily heard. The locked gates at either end of the house helped make us feel more secure, but they did cause logistical problems if we did not leave the house together, as both entries required a key and only one key was available. A keypad lock like the one on the door to the apartment would have been much more user-friendly. All that said, this was a great value and we were happy we picked Sydney’s apartment for our stay.
