Our hosts, Laurel and Paul were truly fine! Laurel left us a lovely vase of fresh flowers and a handwritten note for our arrival, because she knew from our emails that our stay was a special occasion for us. The location is perfect -- close to major highways and on the west side of Denver, so the mountains are always visible. We made several day trips to other locations, and were always pleased to return "home" to Laurel and Paul's place. It is tucked away in a neighborhood, but backs up to a major bike/walking trail off the beautifully landscaped, private back yard. Paul and Laurel were wonderful to talk with, very social; but they also respected our need for some privacy. The large room with a lovely private bath, plus a walk-in closet area housing a refrigerator and some kitchen-like supplies, has amazing windows & high ceilings. The daylight and sky-view at night were marvelous. It's very tastefully and comfortably decorated, and was plenty of space for the two of us. The deck off the back of the house was a plus -- great for early morning coffee or late night libations. Denver was a better place for us for having stayed here. Thanks, Laurel and Paul!
