Gio and Jena were wonderful hosts and the cottage could not have been more perfect! As others have described, it really is a tropical oasis away from the bustle of the city but close to everything. Three restaurants we had on our list as must-dos without even knowing where they were located, were walking distance from the cottage, as was almost everything we wanted to do in Denver. The up and coming neighborhood is in such a perfect location and the streets/houses around it are nice to walk through on your way to your destination.
The bed was super comfortable and having a kitchen was so convenient. We wake up starving and being able to just cook our own quick breakfast without having to scramble to go somewhere or spend money was so refreshing while traveling. We also loved eating outside in the courtyard in the mornings with the many tables dotted around and having a glass of wine there in the evenings before dinner. We spent a day hiking at Rocky Mountain National Park and being able to use the hot tub at the end of that day was such a nice bonus too!
After staying in a "nice" hotel the first night because the cottage was booked, I was able to appreciate the cottage even more with the sharp contrast of quiet, lush gardens, a more comfy bed and the friendliest hosts (and cats!) ever. We will most certainly be back to stay again!
