Tama is a lovely host! Check in and check out were easy. She greeted us at the door for check in to show us around the space. After that she gave us our privacy. The space has a semi private entrance on the rear side of the home (in the gated back yard) with a keypad entry. When you enter the door there is one flight of stairs leading up to Tama's living space (which is blocked off by a gate and curtain) and a second flight of stairs leading into the basement. There is a tiled common area in the basement containing the laundry room and closets. Adjacent is the very spacious rental area that contains a living room/kitchenette and a bedroom with an adjoining updated bathroom. Both the bedroom and living room have doors that open into the common area. There are locks on both doors so you can choose to have the space as private or as open as you prefer. Despite being a basement, it has a lot of windows and sunlight with curtains you can close if you prefer. Overall the space was clean and well maintained. We did find clumps of dog hair in the space during our stay, which we simply picked up and threw away, but this might be an issue for others. The space also had a mild pet odor which again may bother others. The kitchenette had all the amenities we needed for basic food prep (dishes, mini fridge, toaster, coffee maker, filtered water pitcher, microwave, etc.) and the personal touches Tama has included throughout were wonderful (beverages in the fridge, coffee and tea, bagels and cream cheese, condiments, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, hair dryer, etc.). Tama provides fans and space heaters for you to use, however, we did not need them. She also has spare winter outwear you can borrow if needed. Upon arrival, Tama had two homemade chocolate chip cookies waiting for us, which was a lovely touch (allergy alert - the cookies contained nuts). The neighborhood is a quiet and beautiful residential area. We felt very safe and the street parking was easy. The location is walking distance from Colfax where you'll find restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. It's only a 10-15 minute Uber ride to Downtown. Tama included a detailed list of local places to check out. We tried Denver Biscuit Company, The Elm, Abbey Tavern, and Nuggs Ice Cream and we were not disappointed. Tama's dog and cats greeted us outside when we arrived, however, we did not see the animals the remainder of our stay. That being said, you can hear the animals moving around up above and and they do bark/meow during the day (after 7:30AM). Also, noise does carry from the upstairs space, especially the kitchen, doorbell, and muffled talking. At night the house is very quiet. Tama has a lovely entertainment set up with an Apple TV, free Wifi, and board games. You also have access to the washer and dryer if needed. Tama's place is a wonderful value for the amount of space, amenities, and location. We would definitely recommend Tama's place to pet loving couples!
