Allison's home was comfortable and well-located for things that we wanted to do while in Denver. She was beyond understanding when we had to change our plans last minute to bring 3 small dogs with us instead of 2. Her house guide was very thorough.
A few things that were disappointing:
- While most of the dishes were clean, we did find several pieces of silverware in the drawer that did not appear to have been washed thoroughly.
- The house rules state that extra towels & linens are in the basement, but we found them in the dryer when we arrived. Since we used the dryer during our stay, the extras were in the way. Since the house rules state that using extra linens will incur a fee, I was surprised to find them sitting in the dryer instead of put away by the cleaning ladies.
- The fireplace shown in the photos was a deciding factor for us choosing this house, and I didn't read anything in the description about limited usage times. After arriving, we learned that the fireplace would not be operational until November.
- The light bulb on the back porch area was burned out, as was the one on the garage corner. We purchased a replacement bulb for the porch, but it was difficult to see the back part of the yard at night.
- We did receive a parking ticket during street sweeping. The listing description clearly states that guests should check for street signs about sweeping, but I thought this meant signs would be posted on the street shortly before sweeping. It wasn't until after we received the ticket that I noticed the permanent signs. Apparently, street sweeping is on the 3rd Friday of each month. I hope this information can be useful to other guests who aren't well-versed in how street sweeping works.
A few pleasant surprises:
- We left our HDMI cable at home, but Allison had one in the desk drawer for guests to use.
- The wifi was quick and easy to connect to.
- The room off the back of the kitchen provided a great staging area for our fur babies, one of whom is paralyzed and needs to have his diaper put back on.
- Allison provided laundry detergent, dish soap, and bath soap/shampoo.
- The couch and bed were quite comfortable.
- The floors were clean and easy to maintain.
- The house was nicely decorated.
- The check-in process was super easy and quick.
