The "cottage" is a great place to stay when visiting Denver. We were visiting family near by, and the space more than met our needs. It is clean and comfortable with all sorts of special extras like steam in the shower and a soaking tub. The neighborhood is amazing, with old houses made new with young families and young people. We didn't do a lot of restaurant eating while there, but we did go out for breakfast and found great family owned bakeries and cafes----- not the franchise stuff that doesn't feed your soul. Had great conversations with the local's at our breakfast places. I would recommend Cafe Zuri, within easy walking distance, run by a lovely family that make you feel at home, as well as well coffeed and well fed. Our host, Josh, was kind and responsive to us when we needed him. I've stayed at a lot of Airb&bs and this is up in the top group.
