We had a fantastic time in Alicia's beautiful house! It has all the amenities you could need in a beautifully decorated, new space. Alicia was a fantastic host to boot. The River Arts District is a fun area--we love White Duck Taco and Wedge Brewing, as well as visiting the various art studios (New Belgium's new brewery is right across the river as well; it looks like a neat space, but we did not have a chance to visit). Be aware that many of the nearby roads don't have sidewalks and some are quite busy (not ideal for walking with an infant), and the train whistle is indeed audible as others have noted. But overall this is a wonderful place to stay.
