My friend and I booked Kathy's space in the West Highlands for a long weekend (from a Friday to a Tuesday). We initially picked Kathy's space for the private entrance/space, the great value, as well as its location in the Highlands (several of our friends recommended this area for us to stay in).
While the private entrance and the location were definitely amazing perks, I have to say that Kathy's hospitality truly made our stay special. She was super responsive whenever we had questions, she provided plenty of water and other refreshments during our stay, and she was super flexible with my arriving earlier than expected with a self-check-in process.
A bit more about the location - it was perfect for what we were looking to do in Denver. The Highlands is a great neighborhood and there is so much to do there (we checked out Linger, Root Down, Little Man Ice Cream, the Williams & Graham speakeasy, and the skyline view at El Five to name a few spots just in that area). I love to walk around a city to get to know it and I was even able to walk from Kathy's space, through the neighborhood, all the way to Downtown Denver (I checked out the small but cute Museum of Contemporary Art). We did have a rental car though and getting to the major highways was super easy for us from Kathy's space since we did have to travel to a few hikes that were a bit farther away from the city.
Ahead of our trip, Kathy did mention that the ceiling was unfinished in the private basement (something she also noted in the space's description), and though the ceiling being unfinished didn't bother me, I appreciated her thoughtful transparency. Near the end of our stay, she mentioned that she was going to have the ceiling worked on soon so it may be finished for future visitors.
Overall, I highly recommend Kathy's space! She is a great host and her space was just right for my first trip out to Denver.
