Jake's apartment was in a great location for our large group on a quick weekend trip to Denver. For the price point, it was a fantastic value- so I cannot say that we were expecting the lap of absolutely luxury. But there were a few basic things that kept this from being a five star for us.
Pros:
-Location is very central to the downtown area. Plenty of restaurants and bars around us, although we did spend much of the weekend exploring other neighborhoods as the financial distract was a little quiet on sat/sun
-Much more spacious than the pictures. The Queen bedrooms had ample space to fit us/ our suitcases/ even the skis I had lugged in from breck so that was a big win. Couch was bigger and comfier than the pics too!
-Super cool stained glass in the unit
-Lots of cups and plates for a big group
-Easy check in with the door code, which was great for a group that ended up splitting up.
-Pretty clean upon arrival... if not on the sparse side of décor & furniture
Cons:
-Barely any towels; this could be due to the quick turnover of another party staying before us, but there were only a handful of towels (4 or 5 maybe?) available, for a unit that sleeps 6. Especially with quite a few girls, we were hoping there would be a few more
-Water heater didnt seem sure it would handle 6 showers back to back- but it was an old building so you make due
-Of the 1.5 bathrooms, the half bath had a broken chain / handle within the tank on arrival.. meaning you had to stick your hand into the tank to flush. Shortly after arriving, our group had plans for most of the trip so I admit, we did not get a chance to mention to the host until after we departed - this is a super quick fix and I would assume it will not be an issue for future guests. That aside, the second toilet was also a bit questionable about what would go down... to the point where half of our party went out of their way to use a hotel restroom down the street.
- Very small TV in living space and wifi was pretty slow. We had issues trying to just stream shows or music, while hanging out in the evening
-The heat was a little funky- this was mentioned in the details of the checkin, but we ended up sleeping with windows open as you are not meant to change the heat below 72, and it felt like a sauna in there.
