One of our children lives in Denver, so the rest of us (my husband and our two other adult children) spend 5 days at Mark's house over the holidays. Four of us stayed there, and my son and his girlfriend joined us for dinners. It was great for us!

From the time we made reservations through our visit, Mark was responsive and helpful both via email and text. We very much enjoyed the wonderful common areas-- open plan, wonderful sound system with a turn-table and some great old records, lots of natural light, multiple living areas, and strong wireless signal.

We all love to cook, and the kitchen area, especially, worked well for us. It is large and open, and well-equipped with quality appliances, including a professional gas stove and subzero fridge. Mark supplied coffee and teas, plus an array of normal kitchen supplies, including seasonings, oils, flour, etc.

As I said, there were four of us staying in the house, and I do think it would work best for family or friends who know each other well and are mostly on the same schedule because of the open floor plan. There are two bedrooms and a third area that easily accommodated an air mattress, but still little privacy (esp. for sound). The steam shower proved very popular!

The neighborhood itself did not feel dangerous in the least, but it is definitely in transition, and there is not much within easy walking distance, making a car -- or Uber-- essential.
