Had a wonderful stay at Grandpa’s house in Denver, a house located just outside of downtown.
The location: walking distance from downtown, as well as just a few minutes from Five Points (the hip part of Denver). Parking available on either side of the street (street parking pass is provided). To address earlier comments about the homeless population, they’re located approximately 2 long blocks away, noticeable when you drive by but we never had any issues or concerns about them being where they were, and they didn’t feel close once you’re at the house.
The space: a newly renovated interior with the right mix of new furniture as well as exposed brick. The heating worked quite well, and there are vents throughout the house. The kitchen is a good size and features modern appliances and pretty much every tool you would need.l to cook or bake. There is also a front patio and backyard, part of which is roofed and the other part is not. While we didn’t use it too much (since we were there in winter), it’s a nice space.
The hosts: Cherria and Ryan went above and beyond for our stay. We had issues when we first arrived since we came during the polar vortex and the pipes froze (no heat or water.) Cherria and Ryan were very responsive and actively worked to fix the issues, and they even put us up in a hotel nearby until the problem was solved. I couldn’t recommend Cherria and Ryan enough as hosts since they worked diligently to make sure our stay was comfortable and convenient.
Overall, Grandpa’s house was definitely among the best AirBnB’s I’ve stayed in. I came to Denver with my partner to live and work for a month (to get away from the east coast) and we couldn’t have been happier. A good sized space, perfect for two (and perhaps even more) people to work, but also felt cozy and homey enough to live in. Close enough to downtown where it never felt like a chore to get coffee or a bite to eat. And it featured all of the conveniences and comforts you would hope to find at an AirBnB. 10/10, and would actively look to stay here again next time we’re in Denver.
