Myself, my girlfriend and her friend all came down to Denver to see a show at the Marquis, which is about a ten minute Uber from Lauren's place. There were some other airBNB's closer to the theater, but when I saw the listing for place, I just got this really positive vibe, like we weren't just renting a place to stay, we were going to be guests staying in someone's home that wanted us there and wanted to make sure we had a good time and were taken care of.
I was not disappointed when we arrived at Lauren's place. It is a beautiful, newly renovated home in a nice quiet neighborhood that is super close to downtown and Colfax and is just really convenient for out of town folk like us. The rentable space is the basement of the house, which was more than enough space for the three of us. The two girls kept commenting on how cute everything was, and I instantly just felt at home here. It really did feel like having a place to stay, not renting a tiny hotel room with no personality.
We went to our show and got back pretty late, the basement was nice and cool when we got back, and thankfully we were provided with some snacks (lifesaving when you're half drunk and it's 2 in the morning), and did I mention the complimentary smoking tools? I've never stayed in a 420 friendly establishment before, but just having the option of smoking inside and not having to duck into an alleyway to smoke is revolutionary by itself, but providing us with papers and pipes to use is kind of mind-blowing, tbh. One of my favorite moments happened right before we went to bed, when the owner's adorable orange cat came downstairs to say hi and get some pets. We were wondering if the cat would make an appearance, and we were so happy when he did.
The morning we were leaving, Lauren came down and said hi and met us, and we all agreed she is an absolute sweetheart and we wished everyone in our travels was as cool, caring and kind as she was to us.
I would absolutely recommend this location to pretty much everyone, not just 420 people. It is a clean home with amazing hosts and a big friendly cat, you really can't go wrong here. We will definitely be checking to see if this space is available again next time we are in town. Thank you so much for helping make our trip to Denver Ana amazing one.
