Kristen is everything you could ever ask for in an Air BNB host. My boyfriend and I were in Colorado for the week hiking and camping in RMNP. We were initially planning to camp on our last night, but had to change our plans which meant crossing our fingers that there’d be a decent Air BNB available for the same night.
I’ve never tried to book a stay for the same night, so I was completely prepared for the worst. I imagined I’d have to pay a lot more money for a decent place, or choose the cheapest option which would be the equivalent of the top bunk in some 40 year old persons bedroom who’s “roommates” are definitely his parents.
Kristen’s place came up as available which my boyfriend and I couldn’t believe. The photos looked absolutely stunning and the price was completely reasonable. My only reservation was that it wasn’t listed as an instantbook option. I was worried that if we booked it but didn’t get a response from Kristen quick enough that we’d need to cancel the request and potentially not be refunded or something. I just ended up messaging Kristen about my concerns/ asked if her place would for sure be available while again preparing to maybe get a response sometime later in the day.
Kristen responded to my message pretty much immediately and assured me that her place was available for us that night and that she’d accept my request the second I sent it. When my boyfriend and I arrived at the home we were immediately welcomed with a genuine, comforting energy. For starters the place was absolutely spotless- something that should be standard for all Air BNB’s yet sadly isn’t always the case. She also has some really thoughtful yet simple touches that truly give her place that homey, inviting feel.
I could seriously keep gushing over Kristen and her place, but the last thing to mention is how great the location is. We were right by tons of breweries and restaurants which made it so easy to find somewhere rad to eat and drink. Of course had we not been sure about where to go, Kristen has that covered too. Her guestbook has lots of cool recommendations that we would’ve loved to try if our stay was longer.
We will without a doubt be booking with Kristen again the next time we’re in Denver!
