Very close-20 minute walk-to downtown Denver, 16th Street restaurants and active city life. Uber did not take more than $5 to get to downtown area on the days I chose not to walk. Home itself is located in Five Points neighborhood with rich cultural history. Great African-American Research library that belongs to Denver public library system is within a 10 minute walking distance. I didn't have time to interact with the host but Kim appears to be a nice person. If you are looking for a space close to downtown and don't need anyt frills more than a bed and a place to take a shower, Kim's place meets the need.
