If you're looking for a spacious place for a long stay near downtown, you'll be hard pressed to find a better place than Patrick's.
PROS:
- Excellent location. You're literally within a mile of the 16th Street Mall, RINO, and the rest of downtown. The neighborhood is well served by public transit and you'll never have trouble finding bikes or scooters for shorter trips. If you don't feel like traveling far, there are plenty of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and stores within a few blocks of the rental.
- Lots of space. The photos don't do the space justice. The living room is enormous, not to mention the 2 side rooms. Having so much room to work with greatly improved my stay. I also can't understate how nice it is having a private washer and dryer in the unit,
- Great for working. If you are working remotely, or just need some private space to get things done, the attached office is invaluable. The wifi throughout the unit is excellent, more than adequate for video calls and streaming.
CONS:
- Noise. This is a basement unit, so this shouldn't come as a surprise. For most of my stay I barely heard my upstairs neighbors. But there isn't much noise insulation between the floors, so if other guests tend to be active or keep a different schedule from you, be prepared to adjust.
- Small kitchen. Patrick is very clear about this in the listing. The unit only comes with a mini-fridge and a microwave, so if you like to prepare your own meals, you might find it challenging. With the abundance of groceries and restaurants close by, I didn't find this much of a problem, though it was a stark contrast to the spaciousness of the rest of the house.
All in all, I had a great stay and would recommend this place to anyone staying near downtown Denver.
