My vacation to Denver with my little brother was excellent and big part of that was Brant's place. No regrets staying with Brant in the highland area, it's a hip established neighborhood that has great restaurants in walking distance.
He was very accommodating to our looser check in time (drove in from out of state). His place was as described and he was very welcoming. Very easy to get ahold of, and a great value.
Brant also had great hiking recommendations in close areas that gave you that great mountain atmosphere. And gave lots of resources to help pick the perfect hike.
(Bed and towels were very soft and comfortable. Parking was not an issue. [literally can park across the street, no big city parking stress.] and a just a few minutes from downtown)
