If you’re only in a one paragraph review, here you go. The house is in a great location. It’s a charming older house with very modern appliances and fixtures. Ample room in a great location with a great host. Phil is doing work on the property, but you would barely know he’s there. If the place is available, don’t hesitate to book if you’re looking for a cozy home base in Denver city limits. This is definitely a 5-star place. For additional details, read on.
You’ll have the entire upstairs of the house which also includes a partially remodeled attic. The couches are really comfy and the smart TVs and sound system are a great size and included some streaming services. The internet was fast (5GHz channel) and performed as typical residential service you would expect. Slowest performance on one of the 5GHz channels was 60MBps during the middle of the afternoon. Other speeds were typically at 100Mbps or higher on a wireless signal. Phil did offer to provide a wired connection; I think the vast majority will be perfectly happy with the wireless internet service here.

The refrigerator was huge and came stocked with a few beers from previous guests. We were easily able to stuff groceries and drinks for the seven adults that were staying. Additionally cooking was a breeze on the oversized gas grill on the deck and the induction stovetop and oven in the kitchen.
To make things even better, the house was stocked with ample accompaniments including coffee, tea, spices, condiments, etc. I strongly recommend taking an inventory before you hit the supermarket. We bought some stuff that we clearly didn’t have to. (We added a third bottle of ketchup to the community share bank as one example of the food we donated)
I also highly recommend walking to Sloan Lake. Fantastic park located in easy walking distance and filled with well-behaved dogs, walkers, and joggers. The door-to-door distance around the lake was just over 3 miles; a great way to start your day before the super-intense Colorado sun kicks in.
I ended working remotely more than I should have, and hanging outside on the deck mid-day was a little too intense for me because of the sun. I was more than happy to camp on the big comfy couch in the air conditioning until a little later in the day.

So you know I’m not on retainer, here are the ‘negative’ items we encountered.
•	Not a fan of the driveway parking spot. There’s a telephone pole on one side and there's a blind spot if other cars are parked on the same side of the street. [next time I’m just parking on the other side of the street]
•	The partially renovated attic space was too hot in the dead middle of the day. Between 1-3’ish, the air conditioning there couldn’t keep pace. [Plan on spending those hours in the lower level as I did] It’s really a great space – will be exceptional when fully completed
•	The landscaping is a work in progress. If your zen requires staring at a manicured lawn and garden, it’s not quite there yet. It will get there, but just not yet in early June 2021. Personally, I could care less about this, but someone might.
•	We couldn’t find a salt shaker. We found plenty of salt and other condiments, but no shaker. We also didn’t tell Phil this; I’m sure one would have appeared very quickly.
•	The washer/dryer is on premise, but not in the unit itself. You’ll have to coordinate a time with the host if you need to do laundry. We didn’t need to, but good to know for future reference.
•	The August app is integrated with AirBnB. It’s a little flaky throwing errors when installing and logging in. It works as expected, but definitely install it before you arrive so that you can ‘pick up the keys’ when you arrive. It may give more warm fuzzies on iOS, but I’m an android guy. We never had an issue using the August app once installed.
Honestly, you can tell by the severity of these items, they are really minute and almost trivial. If you like an older house with charm, but retrofitted with all the key modern accoutrements, this place is perfect. On a scale of 1 to 10, it’s really a 9.5. You won't regret renting this unit, but if you do, please take care of it so that we can come again!
