About this property

Charming garden level suite with private entrance

I call my home The Nest. This is a prime location near shops, restaurants, DU, King Sooper, and light-rail. You have a separate entrance to a fully remodeled basement apartment including 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, living room, work-space, laundry room and kitchenette.

You have your choice between Marriott pillows, My Pillow pillows, and some temper-pedic pillows. (I take my pillows seriously!) There are 14 restaurants of all ethnicities within 400 yards, and a Starbucks only 100 yards away. Welcome to The Nest!

The space
This is a 1950's home that was fully and lovingly renovated just a couple years ago. I live in the upstairs level, and the garden level is all yours with a separate entrance -- even a separate custom-lit walkway from the street.

While I want to be here to greet you as you arrive, if I'm unable to there is a keypad entrance for easy access. The check-in hours are from 3pm to 8pm, but if you are here outside those hours, just contact me and we'll make it happen.

Guest access
You have a separate, private entrance with motion censored lights that light up your path at night. I will not enter your space during your stay here unless there is an emergency or at your invitation.

2 x bedrooms (The first bedroom has a queen bed, closet and dresser, the second bedroom has a queen bed and closet, and in the living room there is even a futon which can turn into a full-size bed (with two super cozy mattress toppers!)

This price is for 2 people but it will fit up to 4! (But that is cozy, I gotta tell you!) I do ask for $20 per person extra for each adult over the initial 2. Just let me know how many people and I'll give you a custom quote.

The kitchenette has a sink, refrigerator, coffee maker, LOADS of various coffees, creamers and sugars! Microwave, nutri-bullet blender, toaster, crock-pot, hot-water jug, basic dishware, and basic condiments.

NOTE: We do not have a hot plate -- by design -- and ask that you not bring your own.

The bathroom has a shower (no tub). The bathroom is small, but fresh and new and clean.

All of these rooms are yours and won't be shared with anyone else.

Interaction with guests
I am in my portion of the house, but am here for you if you want to chat, get advice on the hot spots, where to eat, shop, directions, etc. If you're up for a walk, I'm always up for a walk through the neighborhood -- just ask! Maybe we'll even end up at the Thai restaurant near by!

Other things to note

I do have three cats, and while they have no access to your apartment you may hear them scurrying about early in the morning. Then, of course, they sleep the rest of the day because, well, they're cats. Note about cat allergies: The cats have never been in your apartment suite, but if you have serious allergies this might not be a good fit for you. I'm sure kitty hair can sneak through vents.

I do work from home too--out back in my detached office---so am in and out all day. You may hear me walking around. But I ain't dancin' with high heels, so it shouldn't be that loud!

There is plenty of street parking,

You'll have your own customized keypad code for entry, and there are 10 steps with a handrail leading downstairs to your apartment.

NOTE: The rates quoted are for two people, although 4 people can comfortably be here. But there is a $20 per night/per person fee over 2 people. Just mention it when you book and we'll work it out. Thanks.

We were looking for a property close to the university of Denver and this was the absolute dream come true. Polly, the property host was so awesome and helpful, and the unit is charming and perfectly stocked with every amenity. We could not have been happier with our stay and will absolutely be going back.

About the host

Hosted by Polly Letofsky

Host profile image

My name is Polly, and I spent years -- YEARS -- traveling around the world. While that was always a good time, I am thrilled to be settled into the quiet, but hipster hood of Cory Merrill in Denver.

My claim to fame is that I'm the first woman to walk around the world. That lead to the writing of a book about my walk, and that lead me straight into a new business in the publishing industry. So now I am running a bustling little publishing company. (The garage out in the back has been transformed into the My Word Publishing World Headquarters! You can almost always find me out there bringing new stories into the world)

Why they chose this property

Cory-Merrill is a HOT neighborhood, just having been voted the second Most Livable Neighborhood in Denver by 5280 Magazine. If you can walk 100 yards to a mile you've got yourself a wide variety of restaurants and shops from South Gaylord, DU, Wash Park, and Colorado Blvd.

You in the mood for Thai food? Boom, 2.5 blocks away.
Vietnamese food? Boom, 1 block away. Italian, pizza, Chinese, Asian, Mexican, and the good ol' Ihop all within 1-3 blocks. If you can walk a full mile it opens your options 10-fold!

Besides food, there are also a number of parks near by, the closest is 1.5 blocks away with basketball court and tennis courts for your use.

What makes this property unique

The Nest sits right between two light-rail stops: .6 miles to one (Colorado Station), 1.2 miles to the other (DU) -- which also has Denver's B-Cycle (Denver's bicycle-share program).

We also sit just 2 blocks from Colorado Blvd, and the entrance to I-25, which are the two main thoroughfares in Denver. We're 6 miles from both downtown and DTC, ($11 - $15 Uber ride) and 18 miles to the airport (Uber costs: $23 in low hours, $40 in rush hours)

Bus to downtown is 200 yards away.

The parking is street parking only, but there is plenty of it.

Bike trails that encompass the city are a 1/2 mile and 1 mile away in three different directions.
