Lauren's home is a great location in a very idilic street and close by some excellent eateries as well (check out the Chop shop on Colefax and Elm). A very easy walk to the bus stop which will take you right into the city. She's excellent with comminucation and has a spotless abode with decoration for every taste. Despite it being a second story bedroom it was nice and cool during the summer time. The cats made sure that I had at least one greeter by the door, even if they weren't always there to directly shake a hand.
It was a great place to stay for the down town conference at 1/2 the price of the hotels, and with the city transit system made it very easy to get to all of the attractions as well. I highly recommend selecting her place if you're going to be in Denver, even if you're a die hard dog lover!
