We had a lovely 5-day stay at this loft. It’s spacious, and the modern appliances and decor (including soft, cozy throw blankets and down comforters) made the space very comfortable. The stairway to the loft would be tough to navigate for some people, and it has no runners so it’s slippery in stocking feet, but once you get up there, it has many of the comforts and necessities that help make vacation less stressful and more enjoyable: basic shower essentials, some toiletries (including band-aids!), and a pantry with some food, spices and supplies. Communication with the host worked perfectly for us. She left us to ourselves, but was always available when we contacted her with a question or concern.
Getting into the one-car garage is a challenge even to experienced drivers, but there is a reserved spot around the corner that is a better option, even when the neighbor’s obnoxiously large pickup truck is parked behind it.
The best part is the location! We were just blocks away from lots of local restaurants, shopping, coffee shops, craft breweries, dispensaries galore and an amazing bakery called The Wooden Spoon. There’s lots of nightlife activity going on all week long, but available parking is at a premium and cruising for street parking is often the only option. There are some parking garages, which we used when we visited the Denver Center for the Performing Arts complex to see one of many fabulous shows playing there. It’s also not a far drive to the historic Five Points neighborhood, dubbed “The Harlem of the West” and home to the city’s Black community for much of the 20th century. Beautiful wall murals can be found painted on the sides of buildings there, and art by local Black artists is exhibited and sold in Black-owned Coffee at the Point.
This was our first visit to Denver, and our stay at the loft helped make it an enjoyable success.
