Mike was a great host. His place was cozy, very clean with extra special touches. He provides a book, just like a hotel room with all of the things you need to know and things to do, places to eat, etc. Mikes home is in a gentrified neighborhood very close to downtown Denver. He and Bryan have done an amazing job remodeling the house. The balcony deck has a nice corner patio couch with a gas fire pit. It was very nice on a cool evening. It's a fairly easy walk to the city. Uber's also are available almost on demand. Denver's public transportation system is also awesome. One day we walked from Mike's house to the train station to go downtown and then took a public bus from Union Station to Boulder. All very easy to do. You really don't need to rent a car. The great thing about staying at Mike's place is we got to experience a lot more than we would have if we stayed at a hotel, in terms of the varied choices we made. We would definitely stay at Mike's place again. The mural on the bedroom wall is pretty spectacular too. We had to buy a blue bear to take home with us. Thanks so much, Mike and Bryan.
