We enjoyed and appreciated Anna's space so much, and we enjoyed Anna's unintrusive on-site assistance and warmth even more. We're always a little wary of staying at a place where the host also lives, but the only time we ever had any interaction with Anna was when we requested it. I think the host's approach is at least 50% of the experience, and Anna was one of the nicest and most accommodating hosts I've ever met (though we never actually met Anna because she's not in your business at all).
The space is great! So many courteous touches, snacks, coffee - and so much more. She made it so comfortable and special to be somewhere with so many thoughtful touches, but also with literally anything and everything you could possibly need. We went to the grocery store before we checked in and kept asking each other, "do you think she has ______?" But thankfully we waited to see before getting things like olive oil or tin foil or whatever. You name it - it's there. After a long day of travel, we were delighted to walk into a place with so much already there.
We loved the decor, the cozy beds, the comfortable couch and chairs, the washer and dryer, and the TV was huge and very high quality! And having a garage is also such a luxury, especially in Denver where the snow makes it so much work to dig out a car. We knew it wasn't going to be a 5-star hotel or an ocean-front villa, but we weren't paying for that kind of stay. However, the comfort, decor, convenience, amenities, and wonderfully warm host put this place at the top of our list when we return.
Thank you Anna!
