We found that there are pros and cons to staying at Cedar's cozy remodeled cottage in the neighborhood close to Washington Park, and overall enjoyed our stay.
Its location is by far the major draw. We took long daily walks to Washington Park, using the recommended shaded path. There are many restaurants within walking distance in the other direction, but their hours could be limited or closed on slow weekdays. We're in May, not sure it this changes in the busy summer tourist season?
The cottage is small but very cozy as common living quarters are concerned: my favorite area is the fully stocked kitchen with all the amenities and thoughtfulness. Cedar even provides a variety of teas and spices, a rarity. We enjoyed sitting at the large dining table and watching the neighborhood goes by through the large picture window.
Regarding the drawbacks: It has to do with the subpar condition of the furniture overall, starting with the beds/mattresses in both bedrooms, which are not in acceptable condition, at least at this price-point. Also to be upgraded are the lumpy pullout couch and a very used leather chair which we wouldn't sit on at fear of injuring ourselves.
On another topic, we found that the Host has provided a window fan unit in the sitting area to address the lack of A/C. If the nighttime temperature cools off enough, you may want to crack the windows to provide ventilation for the upcoming daytime heat.
Regarding the dog issue mentioned in the description, we found it's more like a barking contest between the residential dog and its neighbor counterpart. Luckily they both observe evening quiet time.
We enjoyed our adventure in the heart of an authentic turn of the century Denver neighborhood, and despite its shortcomings, would prefer to stay here than at a bland airport hotel.
