The location is wonderful and convenient -- a short, easy bus ride to downtown, the Capitol, Convention Center and 16th Street Mall. Close to parks and the Botanical Gardens. Plenty of restaurants, cafes, and pubs just 1-3 blocks away on 17th Street or Colfax Ave. There is even a bicycle sharing station nearby. The bed is extremely comfortable. As a basement room in a house well over 100 yrs old, there is noise transmitted from the floor above (mostly footsteps), although the street itself is quiet. Tricia and Dave were very accommodating when I arrived after midnight (because my flight was delayed) and also in allowing me to leave my luggage until late afternoon the day I departed. Although I stayed 4 nights, I didn't get much chance to interact with them because they went off to the mountains on the weekend. Their daughter Lisa was gracious in responding to any questions I had. It was a delight to stay at a comfortable, lovely house rather than a giant hotel while I attended a conference at the Hyatt Regency (and I saved lots of money as well).
