I really enjoyed my stay in this charming two-bedroom basement apartment. It is well appointed--everything you can need with just the right amount of vintage eclectic charm. The location is safe and secure--and not only within walking distance of great amenities and attractions, but also super convenient to downtown, great neighborhoods and highways.
Be aware this IS a basement apartment and the hosts live above the unit--so if you like to sleep till noon or are bothered by overhead noise this may not be your spot. I am an early riser and found the normal daily living noises from above easy to bear--I could not have slept through them, but they did not interfere with conversation or television. Honestly though this is given as 'be aware' advice and not a recommendation to skip this spot--it is a great value and a lovely spot to land in Denver.
The hosts could not be more hospitable or charming--right down to the homemade soaps in the bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped and would be ideal for meals in.
You'll find the usual Starbucks, McDonalds, etc an easy walk away--as well as the more amazing Sloan Lake, Alamo Brewhouse and Cinema (Don't Miss!), and restaurants. It was just 30-40 min to the airport and less to major neighborhoods and downtown attractions.
Check in was super easy--a provided code for the main door and the apartment key inside the unit (accessed by stairs). The apartment is surprisingly bright for a basement unit--with plenty of windows and light. If you have bad weather, and have a Netflix account you can access on Direct TV. Sloan Lake is beautiful with waterfowl and a walking path to enjoy. My favorite spot within walking distance was Alamo--a restaurant, pub and 6-screen movie theater that delivers gourmet food and craft drinks to your seat. First run and classic movies as well as bonus bits (at the Rear Window screening a world class Hitchcock expert provided some great info, at the Isle of Dogs screening there was themed food and pre-show clips with a Wes Anderson specific theme) and all the food was wonderful.
I had great success at incredible restaurants an easy drive away--Watercourse, Truffle Table, Sexy Pizza, Sassafras were some of my favorites. (The weekend only VEGAN chicken and waffles at Watercourse was the best breakfast of my life--including meals that included actual poultry). Downtown museums are easy to reach. I never worried returning to the apartment late at night--even as a solo traveler I always felt safe. Street parking out front was easy to find each time I returned.
I've stayed at a lot of AirBnB and VRBO, etc. This wasn't the fanciest or the one with the most 'perks'..but, it was by far the one that offered the most value for the money and provided everything I needed--and more. If my son remains in his home a mile away, I'll definitely stay again and (more telling) I will recommend to friends traveling to Denver.
