Kara's bungalow is pretty great! Great quiet location in walking distance to nice cafes and restaurants, breweries, dispensaries, shops, even grocery stores. As out-of-towners with no car, this was perfect. Kara's hospitality is top-notch; a few days into our stay she checked up on us, and when I messaged back asking whether she had a humidifier (due to us being affected by the dryness of Colorado air) - she BOUGHT a humidifier for us to use! That was a level of helpfulness I haven't experienced from an Airbnb host.
Other pros:
- Lots of samples of toiletries, such as Eucerin/Neutrogena/Cetaphil/Dove facewashes, soaps, lotions, etc.
- A BIG TV! This was a must for us. And it was on a wall mount so we could adjust the angle.
- A collection of board games, which was cute. We enjoyed Scattergories and Taboo!
Overall our stay was very pleasant, but there were a couple of cons to note:
- Occasionally there were ants on the carpet in the living room. We had to frequently vacuum to keep them at bay.
- There's a funny smell near the bathroom/closet by the couch sometimes. We think it has to do with the pipes? And occasionally a musty smell, probably because it is in a basement. We saw some signs of leaking here and there (dry water spots on the ceiling, a couple of wet spots on the carpet the day we arrived, but it dried up).
- Not 100% sure all of the sheets were washed. The main bed for sure, but we did utilize both the couch pull-out bed and the trundle bed, and found a Cheeto in the couch and stains on the sheets that we weren't sure were permanent from before, or needed to be washed. Luckily there were plenty of fresh sheets in the laundry room and we could use the washer and dryer as well.
- The couch bed is VERY uncomfortable. Lumpy, flat, just weird. We were excited to watch TV from a bed, but eventually turned it back into a couch because our backs hurt.
Overall, I think this stay is wonderful. I love Colorado and can't wait to be back.
