I moved to Denver for a job and this Airbnb was less than 2 miles from the office and was
advertised as quiet, so I thought it would be a great place to relax. This was not 100% accurate.
In order to understand all my observations context is important. Housing in Denver is in high demand. Every room in homes is typically filled with either people who live there, renters, or Airbnbers.
The house is laid out in three levels. There are 1-2 people in the basement. Main level has the kitchen and living room. And Dr. Faye and two rental rooms are upstairs.
Dr. Faye likes to watch TV nearly all the time she is in the house. The TV can be heard in my room whether she is in her bedroom or the kitchen.
I brought this up and Dr. Faye. A contractor put a barrier inside the wall between me and the kitchen and Dr. Faye gave me a door pillow. Even with those two measures, I still had to wear earplugs or headphones in my room a lot of the time to not hear the TV. Another issue is traffic noise. This is something I did not expect as the house is on the corner that leads to a dead end street. Yosemite, which is a block away gets quite busy actually and because the house has single panel windows, you can head everything that is going on outside.
The house has everything you can possibly need and multiples of it. This means a fully stocked kitchen which I appreciate as someone who makes all food from scratch. This also means that the house is cluttered. All the artifacts on the walls and figurines on the shelves gather dust and this really affects the quality of the air inside.
In my room upon check in I did find a fair amount of dust on the bedside table and the lamp and alarm clock that were there. The room was not cleaned at all during my 5 week stay.
The bathroom is shared with another Airbnber and it has double sinks. The bathroom is pretty big. It is stocked with toiletries. It was cleaned once, maybe twice during my stay.
Based on my experience, this place is suitable for someone coming to Denver for a short stay. Someone looking to spend their time enjoying the sites and socializing as Dr. Faye is friendly and has lived an interesting life.
As someone who came to Denver to work and needed a place to get work done at home and relax after, I would not recommend it.
