Loved Rita's turn-of-century (20th) house lovingly and beautifully furnished and her welcoming ways. Made my first trip to Denver very special. Loved the neighborhood, from which I walked (at most 1 1/2 miles) to the fabulous Denver Botanical Garden for a workshop, interesting neighborhood restaurants, Nature and Science Museum, the great Tattered Cover bookstore and even a yoga studio. Didn't need a car - other transport by B Bike (shared bike system) and city bus and twice a taxi.
Two things about staying at Rita's: If she has guests in two bedrooms, you will share a bath, and, in case you're allergic, she has small dogs.
