7.5/10
Fantastic location! The shaded outdoor area was well kept and tidy with a nice seating area. The exterior stairs were a bit wonky in both the front and back - so if there are any mobility issues, this might not be the easiest choice. Dedicated parking spot was a huge convenience! Very responsive host when we reached out with questions. Good WiFi. Very quiet, even with the bustling neighborhood.
Living area and kitchen were 8/10. Very pretty, freshly updated with lots of vintage character still intact. Comfortable seating. Well equipped kitchen. A couple of small, slippery throw rugs, but we rolled them up & stashed them safely away for our stay. No smoke detector or Carbon Monoxide detector on the first floor - saw the spot where one once was, but it was missing.
Downstairs (primary )bedroom/bath: 6/10. Was happy for the primary bedroom location. Large (non-operable) windows let in natural light, with curtains for privacy. Ceiling fan. Bed was very, very (very!) firm. The bed linens and pillows were nice quality. No bedside tables, no luggage rack or spot to stash a suitcase off the floor. The narrow window seat held smaller bags, and was reachable from one side of the bed. The sisal rug was curling up on the edges, and we kept tripping over it. No mirror anywhere on the first floor, except in the teeny-tiny bathroom, above the very small sink. Seriously, the main floor bathroom is hobbit-sized and not updated (likely why this bathroom is not shown in the listing photos.) I had to sit on the toilet to apply makeup/ do hair. It worked - but if I were trying to get ready for a big event, it would have been very frustrating. Shower stall had glass door with very narrow clearance. Very weak shower water pressure, but that might be a Denver issue? There is not counter space, but there is a cupboard and a nice deep windowsill with space to stash your toiletries.
The upstairs bathroom is nicely updated. Upstairs bed in one room reportedly also had a hard mattress - the other one seemed to be a memory foam.
This property has loads of wonderful attributes, and just a few things that could be improved. It is not a luxury stay, but clean and charming and a fantastic location. We felt very safe, coming and going at night. We would definitely consider this property for future stays!
