We had a great time staying a Ling and Chris's place. It was central enough for us to get to all the things we wanted to see and do in Denver: Red Rocks, hiking, the art districts, and local craft breweries. Their place is about a 30 minute drive to the Red Rocks area, and we estimated about an hour (or more) to the mountains for skiing/snowboarding.
Ling and Chris do a great job welcoming people into their downstairs apartment. They sent all the information for check-in well in advance, and they were home to let us in, give us a tour, explain how the fireplace and hot tub work, and discuss expectations (e.g. quiet hours, no smoking, etc). Ling also offers breakfast to the people staying in the apartment - we had her delicious homemade scones and jam every morning (the orange cranberry walnut scones were amazing!).
The apartment was clean, quiet, and filled with thoughtful touches (coffee and tea, robes and slippers for the hot tub, plenty of towels, maps and menus from local restaurants) - exactly what we needed. Thanks for a great stay - we would definitely stay here again if we return to Denver.
