Highly recommend David's place- especially loved the 3rd floor and deck and kitchen was great too; would not hesitate to go back!
David also accommodated us with early check-in/late departures- so nice of him.
While the immediate area is not full of shops and restaurants, the Gulch "downtown" area is walkable- about 20 minutes or so. Everything else, including Broadway and Vanderbilt, is a short uber away.
