Matt & Mandy's house is located in Denver's popular Highland neighborhood where several restaurants/bars are just a short walk away. Within 5 minutes you can find a juicy hamburger at Highland Tap Burger, or, f you walk another 2 or 3 blocks, passing other restaurants on the way, a pretty good pizza at Tony P's. As another reviewer said, there's a wine/spirits store right across the street from the house where you can, also, buy a bag of ice. Either the ice maker in the house doesn't work or I didn't do it right.

There was some confusion with the key when we first arrived but the neighbor was quick to help & we were inside the house in a matter of minutes. The house was clean and had plenty of room for 4 of us when my sister and brother-in-law decided to drop in for a visit & stayed overnight. We didn't cook but there looked to be plenty of pots, pans, plates, glasses, cups, a coffee maker, micro wave, etc., plus a grill in the backyard.

There's a newer comfy couch in the living room with a nice flatscreen TV that has basic channels. My husband would have liked ESPN or some type of sports channel. He ended up watching golf at Highland Tap Burger, though, and came back happy.

Being smokers, we appreciated being permitted to smoke outside where we, also, had our morning coffee and watched the daily visiting squirrel. We gave him a little something to eat one morning and he stuck around until he finished it.

The neighborhood seems to have a mix of people, for the most part, in their 30s and 40s, not so many retirees, but a few. Several beautiful new homes were going up on just about every block. The mile or so walk to Union Station was well worth it. There were benches and various places to sit along the way. The train station has been renovated, complete with wi-fi and leather chairs in its mid section, surrounded by restaurants, stores and shops.

Our only difficulty was the on-street parking. It was necessary to wait until evening when a few cars left, before we could move our car in front of the house. Whew .. parallel parking isn't my strong point. Still, the next time we visit Denver, I'll be checking to see if Matt & Mandy have an opening.

Thank you Matt and Mandy! We had a great time!
