The Lab Apartment

My stay at the property was awesome! The property is located close to NIST, UC, and the shops. It is easy to access by public transport. It is spacious, super clean and has fully equipped cooking facilities. The hosts are super, very easy to communicate with. Will definitely book again, when I am back in Boulder.

Awesome location and cozy stay.

I was visiting my daughter at CU and the location could not have been more convenient--just a mile from her house. The apartment is clean, fully-equipped, cozy, and has a great view to the Flatirons. Off-street parking was a bonus. Thanks for a great stay!

Great place with great hosts

My husband and I spent a week at Jen and Derek’s place in south Boulder while we visited our son who lives with his roommate a few blocks away. We enjoyed everything about the place…clean, spacious and charming. We got to meet Jen, who was very friendly and accommodating. The kitchenette which included a small hotel size refrigerator was not a problem for us as we only needed to make tea and coffee. We hope to stay here again when we come to Boulder in the future.

Very nice studio with a compact but well thought out kitchen with lots of amenities. My husband and I were quite comfortable with the space and uniqueness. The neighborhood was pretty - lots of well kept houses. And very close to a bus stop for a quick ride to Pearl St.

Clean, Green, Near Everything + Quiet

Lovely stay at environmentally “green” Lab House in quiet neighborhood with views of Flatirons out the window near everything, only 6 mins from Chautauqua (drive) / 40 min (hike). Well appointed with everything I needed efficient use space = Zen meets Scandinavian design. High quality natural bathing products and chocolate treats to greet me upon arrival. Lovely stay!

FB opener 2024

Traveled from MN for the NDSU Bison v CU Buffaloes football opener. We enjoyed a fantastic 3 night stay at this well appointed gem that was close enough to walk to CU’s Folsom Field, and was an easy drive to Pearl St shops/ restaurants and local hiking trails. Communication with the hosts was easy and prompt. Would definitely stay here again when traveling to Boulder!

An architectural delight

I booked this property in a rush without reading some of the details. I was a bit taken back at first when I realized that there was neither a full-sized fridge nor a dishwasher. On the second day, I realized that there was no washer/dryer in the unit either. But high ceilings, gorgeous concrete floor, and the nicely designed bathroom made me forget all those things that make traveling a bit more easier perhaps. In a way, it was surprising how I adapted to what was there and made the best of it. Also, the kitchenette is surprisingly appliance rich - kettle, coffee maker, toaster, blender. The unit has tons of windows that provide a cooling air circulation at night for a comfortable sleep. I really enjoyed being in a small space with my daughter all the time, and reminded me, in fact, how little space we need to live. We were there to explore Boulder. We walked...A LOT. Once you figure out the shortcut into and out of the neighborhood, it has convenient access to UC Boulder campus and beyond. Lastly, the selection of books in the bookcase tell a story of who the owners are, and I enjoyed seeing the books, and leafed through some, that one does not usually see in a rental. I would definitely stay there again.

We had a great stay at this property. My son had an athletic event in the area, and the apartment was perfect. We had a small grocery order delivered to the property, and the kitchen was equipped perfectly. Will stay here again next time we’re in town.

Wonderful spot in Boulder!

We really enjoyed our four days/nights! It's a very convenient location with easy access to CU Boulder. The place is very clean with a Scandinavian feel. The layout works great for up to three people. The neighborhood is also nice, with sidewalks for walking or jogging. All in all, we highly recommend it!

Perfect Stay

We loved this place. Perfect for my husband and I. Even though it’s considered a studio, the layout feels spacious. Plenty of storage, nice workspace, and the kitchenette includes everything you would use or need in a larger space. Close to the bus route, campus, and in a neighborhood setting. We will definitely rent there again.
