This is a hostel type home. I think the hosts are nearby, but I only communicated through texts. I'm a private kind of person so I prefer that kind of hosting, available if you need them but really left alone if no problems arise. The house is really awesome, an old denver building. My room was clean with fresh white sheets and fluffy towels and the air conditioner kept the room perfectly cool on hot days. It's a nice, quiet, safe neighborhood and home. A lovely place to rest as I decided to depart my 13 year stay in Colorado. Onward i travel. If I ever find my way back home, I will hope that Gretchen and Charles house is still available.
