Allan’s place is an absolute gem! I booked it because of all the amazing 5-star reviews, and OMG, they weren’t kidding. First, the location: smack dab in the middle of Denver’s “Uptown” and a few steps away from 17th Avenue restaurants that blew me away…and I’m from Chicago, so that’s no easy feat! Tons of restaurants, bars, breweries, etc. in a 10 minute (or less) walk, including the Brown Palace hotel! Second, the place itself: scrupulously clean, modern, stylish and comfortable. The bed is like a magic cloud, and I slept like a log…almost missed an appointment it was so comfy! There is a long granite countertop ideal for work and morning coffee, a beautiful kitchen (with a gas stove!) and a large balcony with the impressive Denver skyline practically in touching distance. A great place to have a glass of wine and watch the sunset. Finally, Allan himself: I was only there for 2 days, but he was clearly interested in maximizing my enjoyment of his place and the city. Quick to respond, friendly and knowledgeable, in short— everything you want in a host. I give the Penthouse my absolute highest rating and hope to come back soon!
