Elizabeth and Jerome were very easy to communicate with and let us know all of the details that were needed. The condo was very clean and in a great location! Natural Grocers was across the street for all your grocery needs, along with Bonfire Burritos 1 block away for coffee and breakfast! Extremely easy 1 mile walk to downtown Golden for all your restaurant and shopping needs! On-site parking was also a bonus! We will be back to stay here again!

We stayed here for a night after a flight to settle in and adjust to the altitude before driving up to the mountains to ski. It was quiet, comfortable and very clean. Host was very responsive when we had an issue getting in (which I am pretty sure was because we were early for check-in). It was just perfect!

Sweet spot!

We came for a Red Rocks concert but stayed longer for hiking in RMNP. The place worked great for both. And Golden is the sweetest city. Added bonus, the walk to downtown Golden took us past many interesting things (ex the Sherpa House) we would have missed otherwise.

We were surprised by the location being above a business, but it was pristine and quiet. Inside was decorated so cute. My favorite were all the music quotes around the place. It was very comfortable and had all the necessary amenities. Extra Bedding and towels were nicely stored and organized in plastic bins, which made it easy to find. There were grocery stores nearby and not too far from downtown Golden or Red Rocks. We really enjoyed our stay!

Immaculate! It’s like the owner budgeted 200k in furniture, paint, flooring, kitchen, basically everything! Just phenomenal. Only drawback was the instructions for finding the entry to the outside doorway to the elevator. I would add that the poorly marked doorway doorway (basically invisible if your initial arrival is after sunset. My wife and I spent about 45 minutes walking around the building looking for the entry. When I called the Superhost’s phone number, I had to leave a voicemail, and never heard back. Additionally, I emailed the host, from the parking lot, to no avail.Otherwise, the place was absolutely exceptional!

Thank you for your review — we’re so glad you loved our home and its design! We’re truly sorry that you had trouble locating the exterior entry upon arrival. We actually replied to your VRBO message that same evening as soon as we received it, and we also saw through the smart lock app that you had gained access shortly after. We didn’t want to disturb you with a late phone call once we knew you were inside. For future guests, our detailed check-in instructions note that the entrance for the residential units is located to the left of the bank and is labeled accordingly. Following those instructions helps make for a smoother arrival, especially after dark. We really appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again!

Our checkin process was a nightmare as the directions to even find the condo were not clear. There were no pictures or specific simple directions to follow. Then when we woke up the first morning, there was construction noise above us. The positive points were:The unit was very clean, orderly, and decorated well. The bed was very comfortable and it was very quiet after the first night. The book about the details of the condo and surrounding area was very helpful.

Kris, thank you for your feedback. We provide detailed check-in instructions that our previous guests have found very helpful, and we’re sorry if those were overlooked. We were also sorry to hear about the unexpected noise from the unit above during the first morning of your stay while they completed some maintenance work. The condo and surrounding area are typically very quiet and peaceful. We’re so glad to hear that you found the unit clean, orderly, and stylish, and that you found our guidebook helpful. We truly appreciate you staying with us and sharing your experience.
