It so pains me to write anything like a negative review so let me begin by saying the following are observations and recommendations--some simply about the neighborhood itself but visitors should be aware.

Host: We really didn't get a chance to see Rita due to our schedule, and I'm sure she would have been lovely to meet.

Neighborhood: It's true that it is relaxed and convenient if on foot. If in a car however, this area is a headache. Street parking makes the roadway very narrow for two cars at the same time. Parking on nearby Colfax Ave for the shops and restaurants is similarly limited. Nothing a host can control but visitors should be aware.

Amenities: Rita truly has one of the most lovely homes I've seen. Her decor and sense of style were what I would pick for myself. That said, it is very difficult for multiple guests to try to share a single bathroom. If you don't get in first and you get behind people who take extremely long showers and baths - as we did - you will be very frustrated.

Rita, I'm sorry that we cancelled our second night. We just need a more relaxing place to stay on our final night in Denver.
