This place is a good value, but lacks attention to safety.
If you're like me, looking for a place that is clean, comfortable, safe and offers a great value, read on, there are some things you should know.
We stayed at this 1 bedroom apartment for our first trip ever to Denver, I will start by stating that overall it is a good value.
LOCATION: The location is fantastic. It is as close to downtown as possible without being in downtown. You can literally walk to a Broncos game and with plenty of rental bicycles, you can bike to the 16th Street Mall downtown. There's a grocery store 5 minutes from the apartment so when it comes to conveniences, it scores 5 stars!!
COMFORT: We were here for several days when the whether varied and we were very happy. The heater worked perfectly. The furniture is adequate and in good shape. The sofas are comfortable and it seems that one is a sofa sleeper. The bed is comfortable if you like a 'soft' mattress, if you prefer firm you will likely not enjoy it.
AMENITIES: The biggest amenity for us was parking and we were happy to have a place to park our rental on premise. Second to that was the washer/dryer as we had been on the road for 10 days. Otherwise the kitchen was well stocked, it seemed with salt, pepper, oil, even spices. We did not cook at all and didn't use any kitchen appliance, but there was a drip coffee maker and toaster and some of those other items.
CLEANLINESS: Overall the place was clean, but its obvious it does not get a deep cleaning. There was plenty of dust in the corners, the vents, and even hair on the bathroom ceiling. Nothing that made our stay uncomfortable except for black mold on the shower curtain and grout, but we understand the weather and nature.
SAFETY: Safety is where the apartment misses the mark. In addition to possible mold allergies, it seems the integrity of the subfloor has been lost, resulting in cracked ceramic tiles that protrude around the toilet. At the right angle and with wet feet, the tile will cut the sole of your feet. The easiest fix if you are traveling with children is to immediately place a towel on the bathroom floor over the cracked flooring. The bigger concern with us was that the door only has a Kwikset powerbolt lock, which are known to be hackable and indeed I was able to use the default master code to unlock (after overloading he buffer). Normally this would not make me nervous but the other guests stood outside our door until late hours smoking weed. Since electronic deadbolts are crackable, hotels use a secondary bar-latch which the doors here lack. My work around was to remove one of the batteries and I suggest you do the same, simply slide the back cover of the powerbolt and remove a battery.
SO that's our review, overall the value is adequate, and you get a lot for the price. Given an opportunity we would stay here again as we did enjoyed our stay and we worked with what we got. Good luck in your own travels.
