Our family met for Thanksgiving. Skylar’s place is close to 16th Street mall, botanical gardens and Pepsi Center. We did drive though as it was windy and cold; we also had a baby with us. Many bars/restaurants could be walked to though. I was pleasantly surprised to see enough street parking in front of the house. I did anticipate needing to park and walk, but we never had to. The roof top was a really cool space. There were plenty of air mattresses and linens. The kitchen was spacious and beautiful. My mom cooked a very nice Thanksgiving dinner in it.
The only thing I would say to consider when you choose your location is remember there are homeless people in downtown Denver. If you would rather not have that part of the Denver experience, then maybe other parts of Denver would be better suited for you.
Overall, it was a great trip. Thanks, Skylar.
