I can't speak eloquently enough to describe Mariah's place. It was very warm and inviting. Her little renovated spot had all of the creature comforts that you'd expect from a full size home; With a very homey studio feel, my wife and I had plenty of personal space but enjoyed having each other within reach.
It's literally in the backyard of the main house but as I found during our stay, this is not uncommon to the suburban Denver areas. While we were within short distance from her home, we used the back parking area for the majority of our stay and only interacted with the host when our paths crossed. She currently has two curious pups who both are eager for ear scratches and any attention you'd show them but know they do not stay out full time; you will enjoy the Dani Devito sightings!
Overall, do not have any reservations about requesting a stay at Mariah's place. We always felt safe and couldn't have asked for a more affordable and centrally located destination.
