When you reserve a home for one or two nights, you're not risking very much. After all, before you know it you're gone. But we booked Chris and Larina's home for 6 weeks. That's a commitment. And as hopeful as we were beforehand just by looking at the photos online, the actual experience exceeded anything we could have imagined. The photos are excellent but don't do justice to the size and scale of the house. The entire first floor is custom-made for relaxing, entertaining a few friends, Olympics binge-watching, or just having a quiet dinner. Everything works as promised. The house is filled with amenities that make everything easier: from baking to grilling to listening to music or reading a good book.
If we had a question, Chris and Larina were instant responders. And if we needed their help with something, they got it done within record time. They don't just rent you the home and disappear; they're available to make sure you enjoy your time and have a hassle-free stay.
The neighborhood is exactly as described. A very diverse community just two blocks from the University of Denver. Which means that within walking distance of the home are fun and funky bars, restaurants, convenience and grocery stores, and exercise studios.
Our summer in Colorado was superb, and we owe Chris and Larina a huge thank you for their fabulous home. They should charge more.
