Carolyn’s place was beautiful and exceeded our expectations in every way. First of all, vacation rentals are usually lacking in cleanliness and don’t come close to meeting my [admittedly exacting] standards. Whether it be mildew in the washing machine or hair in the sink, there’s always something. NOT SO in this case: this home is truly immaculate from top to bottom! Corners were completely free of dust and grime, surfaces were literally sparkling, even the bottom of the trash can was clean when I removed the bag to empty it. A+++
The fixtures and finishes in the house are high end and very attractive, and there’s no clutter around to distract the eye (or small children). Temperature is easily controlled via the thermostat in the living room, and we found the beds quite comfortable. The neighborhood is very lively and cute and had a great variety of shops and restaurants: we were even able to get a late night bite from Matador when we arrived after midnight.
Carolyn doesn’t skimp on the basics like rentals often do: there was ample dish soap, trash bags, paper towels, ziploc bags, toilet paper, towels — even shampoo and conditioner. It made being away from home so much more convenient. Communication was easy and stress free. I highly recommend this home and Carolyn as a host. It’s a fantastic and well-priced option in a great Denver location (with off street parking, no less!).
