Because I was driving to Denver, I didn't have an exact arrival time, but Cynthia was quick to respond to text messages once I arrived, and made arrangements to meet and provide a key. She showed me the house and my room (which I was sharing with my sister) and provided some suggestions for nearby places to eat.

The beds were comfortable, and the room was comfortably furnished. A plus was a sink in the room, since several guests shared a bath.

Location was perfect for my needs--easy to walk or take public transportation to areas like downtown, Cherry Creek, and anywhere along the light rail. One downside was the parking--at some times of the day, especially in the evening, it was difficult to find parking, and a couple times I had to park 5 or 6 blocks away when returning in the evening. Be prepared to walk a bit if you bring a car.

Cynthia was very personable, but I barely had a chance to visit with her, as I spent most of my time in Denver getting together with friends. This morning, as my sister and I were leaving, we did chat for a few minutes, and Cynthia sent us on our way with some delicious bread that we enjoyed later in the day.

All in all, a good first Airbnb experience for me . . . I'll definitely do it again.
