My friend and I stayed at Leila and Alex's home while in town for a two-night music event at Red Rocks. The home is beautiful and the owners are very responsive and accomodating. I'm a writer and she's a VP for a software company so the two-story layout allowed us to work remotely with privacy. When we first arrived, my friend was skeptical about the area because of the graffiti in the alley where the garage is and the homeless situation a resident referred to as "tent city" but we felt very safe the entire time. I live in Atlanta and would compare the area to Virginia Highlands/Little Five Points. I'd definitely stay here again for any future visits to Denver and highly recommend it to others as well.
