If you have no mobility issues (there are 13 steps down to the garden apartment) this place is great. It was just me, my husband, and our dog. Very spacious area, clean, well kept. Our host (Laura) responded quickly to questions/requests we had. This place is very conveniently located to shopping and area restaurants. Well laid out neighborhood for walking our dog. We especially enjoyed the electric fireplace for its warmth!

The listing did not indicate someone would be upstairs in the house. It indicated it was the entire house, which it is not. It is the basement, and not a walk out basement. It had plenty of space and amenities and was clean, just not what we expected and the person above was up each night until 2-3AM each night walking around.

Cleanest property we've stayed in!

Laura is a great hostess! All the basic needs were provided upon arrival. This is the cleanest property we have ever stayed in! I really appreciated that. She was very quick to answer if I texted her with a question or need. It was a quiet neighborhood in a good location, close to stores and restaurants but out of the busy town. We would totally stay here again. Even the kids said so!

Space worked well for our family. Unit was clean. It does not have a full kitchen but host provided plug in cooktop and other appliances that could be used for cooking. Host communicated well. Being the basement it was a tad cold at times.

Great place, nice and clean. Everything you need in the kitchen and bathroom. Great neighborhood and food/shopping nearby. Convenient to seeing Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak. The listing does say this is a basement place which is usually not a problem. However, the stairs were difficult to navigate due to the garage door and door to the stairs both opening into the small laundry space. It felt very precarious carrying luggage in and was challenging for my children and elderly parents. In addition, the king size bed is very, very high. My mother had to stand on a chair to get into the bed. My father who is over 6 feet struggled to get in the bed without a stool. My husband and I would stay here again alone, but not with my parents, children, or dog.

The location was perfect, the beds comfy and loved the theme and all the handmade quilts. Kids had a great time with the games. It has lots of stairs, which is not a problem unless you are on crutches. I would stay again, I will be off crutches. Some garden level basements have ground level entrance, and I assumed that, so it was tough to navigate for me. The china was beautiful and the same set that my Mom has so that was fun.

We really enjoyed our time together in Laura's adorable basement apartment. Laura was an amazing and responsive host for the duration of our Christmas stay. The layout of the house was perfect for our party of 6 plus dogs - very comfortable. The kids also enjoyed the use of her spacious yard! Can’t wait to return the this incredible retreat. Thank you!

Headed home after a week of camping, Laura's property seemed like the perfect place to rest up, clean up, and meet up with family before heading back home. What a great place - super clean, kid- and pet-friendly, nice quiet safe neighborhood, lots of greenspace and nearby to all the conveniences. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to booking her place on our next trip to Colorado. Thanks Laura!

Very Clean and Easy to Access

My highest priority in a rental is cleanliness and safety. This one is super clean and well maintained. The neighborhood is very quiet and felt safe. Laura left lots of lights on for when we arrived after dark. We stayed here for USAFA Parent’s Weekend. It is a little further from campus but so nice to be away from the crowds of this weekend. We enjoyed the restaurants that are close to this neighborhood. Laura was very helpful and easy to communicate with!
