This wasn’t exactly what I was looking for (preferred the entire place to ourselves) but it did the trick for a few days. The title of the listing is beyond misleading (it’s not an apartment by any means), but the description explains a converted basement (still mentions an apartment).
The home was clean and everything was laid out for us which was great. The host was very friendly, meeting us when we came in and even helping with luggage. The basement and home are connected by stairs and a sliding door so you’re very close to the main home.
Herbert and his family stayed upstairs during our visit. Seeing as this is a basement, you can hear when they wake up and move around (usually before 8am), so I’d suggest another Airbnb or hotel if you’re on vacation and want to sleep in. This listing lacks privacy — because everything is connected and you can hear from either side, Herbert would exit the front door as we were leaving and inquire where we were off to. Nice convo starter once or twice, but this was every time we left the house, so it might not be the ‘perfect’ place to stay if you prefer to move more freely when on vacation.
Overall, very affordable and quaint Airbnb to stay in Denver for a few days. 4 stars!
