My husband and I moved to Denver and stayed here for 1.5 months while we looked for a place to rent.
Location: the house is really close to Larimer street which has great street art, Denver Central Market, various shops + restaurants. We were able to park in front of the house most
of the time despite the 2 hour parking signs with no incident but you can also park in the alley by their garage. FYI: There are a lot of unhoused folks living in tents around here. We moved from Brooklyn so it is just a little different than it is there, but everyone minds their own business.
At night there is noise from people, police sirens, etc. and it can be alarming, especially of you are a light sleeper.
When we arrived the house was not clean. I spent many hours over several days working my way through cleaning it. When I told Karen about this, she agreed to give me back the cleaning fee and dropped off the supplies I requested, which was appreciated.
Besides that, what is not pictured is the massive HVAC vents running through the whole house, including on top of a dresser in the bedroom. It is loud and you need to make sure you run it very low to get the loft cooled which makes the rest of the house frigid.
As other reviews mentioned, the spiral staircase was unpleasant to navigate. We did not keep our clothes in the bedroom because it is such a pain to go up the staircase. The furniture is stained and very lived in.
Backyard: While it was fun to see the cats in the yard, they have the run of it and use the “herb garden” as a litter box. The yard looks completely different in photos now. Later in our stay one of the cats became obsessed with us and made it a little overwhelming to be outside because he wanted to much attention and rubbed on our legs/got us dirty.
We ended up leaving before our reservation was over and Karen/Matt were understanding.
