Really amazing location and the price was great. I stayed at Chris’ for 2 weeks with my cat and I worked remotely. Internet is fast and reliable; about 150 Mbps down which is a lot better than most places I stay. This is a cozy basement apartment under a historic mansion near Cheesman Park. Very walkable area lots of beautiful houses. Goes without saying Cheesman Park is beautiful and a great place to stroll, jog, bike, skate, or walk your dog. I walked downtown a few times and it only took about 20-30 minutes depending on where you’re going.
The vintage fridge is really cool and I did some cooking with the antique stove. Bed was very comfortable in my opinion as well. There’s also a washer and dryer outside of the unit but still in the basement if you need to do laundry. No complaint about anything in the bathroom, although this is a basement so the ceiling are a bit low. It’s more noticeable in the shower. I’m 5’10” and had no issues; I think they might be about 7’ high. There’s a 32” smart TV but its the perfect size for the space. I hooked my PS5 and Switch up to it.
There was actually some work going on in the house upstairs the whole time during my stay but it was not disruptive at all. I hardly noticed it. Parking can be really tough if you come back late. You might end up circling the block or the surrounding blocks for a while before you find a spot. Also someone hit my side mirror on my last day here and damaged it. Not much you can do about that it happens. I have learned the hard way to fold my mirrors in when street parking.
Chris was very responsive any time I texted him and he would occasionally check in to make sure things were going well.
Oh and there’s a Voodoo Doughnut less than a half mile away! It’s less than a 10-minute walk.
One last thing, Chris includes a lot of great books, magazines, and maps about Denver. I highly recommend checking some of them out, especially the “Walking Denver” book. I did a few walks from it and it was very informative. Taught me a lot about the neighborhoods.
