We stayed at Brant's for two nights as part of a three-week trip backpacking across the US, and it was without doubt the best place we stayed. The price is amazing value for what you get - a clean, comfortable and spacious house, with superbly comfortable bedding and a private bathroom (with fluffy towels and a great shower), in a lovely residential area close to lots of trendy alehouses and cafes. We arrived much earlier in the morning than anticipated, but despite the short notice, Brant generously allowed us to check in early. We caught the free 'Mall rider' buses into town both days (they depart from the station, around a 20 minute walk from Brant's house, and follow a route which goes all the way up to the Capitol/art museum area). Although this meant we spent most of our trip out and about, when we did see Brant, he was polite, helpful and friendly - a great host.
I would recommend this place to anyone, and would be sure to stay again if I ever return! Our other recommendations:
- Comedy Works (on Latimer Square - a great, intimate comedy venue)
- We tried a few of the alehouses between Brant's house and the station - all great, there are some excellent local beers brewed in Denver itself
- Denver Art Museum - we spent five hours here! It's fantastically curated and well worth a visit.
