About this property
City Park Retreat. Walk to Zoo, Dining, & Brewery. Free Parking.
Stay in the heart of City Park South, one of Denver’s most walkable neighborhoods. This fully renovated private 1-bedroom retreat puts City Park, restaurants, coffee shops, breweries and groceries within an easy walk, with downtown just minutes away.
Inside you’ll have a full kitchen, fireplace, in-unit washer/dryer, fast Wi-Fi and a comfortable queen bedroom. Outside, enjoy the leafy patio and the convenience of free off-street parking—a major perk in central Denver.
And we also offer luggage storage for people needing to securely store luggage before check-in or after check-out.
NEED MORE SPACE? The unit has double doors that can be opened to provide a 2nd unit with a studio bedroom & bathroom. (Contact David for details and additional cost)
We offer internet television with a wide variety of channels and FREE WIFI.
The green, canopied front patio provides a friendly chill-out space to enjoy Denver's blue skies. In summer, we welcome guests to visit the back yard to pick tart apples from one of our apple trees.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD: CITY PARK SOUTH Walk to so many amenities!! With a quiet, safe and friendly neighborhood feel close to downtown, the house is just across the street from Denver's largest and most beautiful Park, City Park. The Denver Zoo and the Museum of Science and Nature are just across the park.
There is a full grocery store (Sprouts) on the very next block next to a Denver Bike Share station.
Enjoy 5-10 min walks through our charming neighborhood to several bars: Atomic Cowboy, PS Town, Goosetown Tavern, Cerebral Brewing, and several others
Great dining close by includes Stella's, Mezcal, Denver Biscuit Company, as well as hip coffee shops: Hooked on Colfax, Lula Rose Coffee Shop, a Wine bar, and a Little Man Ice Cream --a 1950s ice cream shop.
Also nearby is one of the hippest book stores (Tattered Cover) next to a modern Independent film Cinema (SIE)
SAY HELLO...OR NOT :-) My partner and I live in the unit upstairs, and respect your privacy, but we enjoy assisting you as you need. We're usually around town, and if there is anything you need, don't hesitate to call. We provide lockboxes with several backups should you need.
GETTING AROUND: My partner and I downsized to just 1 car thanks to this neighborhood. We enjoy the convenience of a car to make it downtown in 7 min, but we also rely on walking, biking, Uber/Lyft, and public buses (Bus 20 to downtown stops feet from the door step, and the Colfax #15 (2 blocks away) also goes downtown and runs every 10 min during peak times. The new "Train-to-the-Plane" light rail is just 2 miles from the home. It runs every 15 min and can get you to DÍA in 27 minutes.
We now offer off-street parking! Street parking is often plentiful on our block as well.

We didn't realize that this was a basement apartment, so it wasn't quite as private as we had hoped, but otherwise, it was a great stay. The host was very friendly and accommodating, and it was clean and nice.

Thank you for your review and we’re glad you enjoyed your stay. Denver law does require all VRBO owners to live somewhere on the property, and we definitely respect guest privacy. And guests get their own unit with their own private entrance just steps from City Park and 2 blocks to restaurants, groceries, and cafes.
David’s space was perfect for my Denver visit. Very clean and comfortable. The location was perfect. I loved being able to walk to the park, restaurants, and the grocery.It was unusually hot in CO during my visit and the basement unit stayed wonderfully cool. I would definitely stay again!
Great location, attentive host, pleasant accomodations-everything you need for a nice getaway to explore Denver. Was wonderful being so close to City Park and easy to walk to restaurants and attractions!
The unit was very clean, bed comfortable and the location couldn't be better. City Park is right across the street, Colfax is a short walk that has restaurants, music venues and bars and there's a bus stop that goes to Union Station with downtown stops along the way. Plan your return trip because the bus doesn't always stop at the same places depending if you're going E-bound or W- bound. It's not a bad drive into downtown either, just be prepared for parking.
This property was perfect for a weekend stay. The host, David, was awesome in communicating before and during the trip. He really cares about all the details in making sure you’re happy with your stay. The property is right in front of city park which has beautiful scenery you could take a morning walk to. The house was very clean and the kitchen is very modernized with needed appliances. We enjoyed the privacy the unit has as it’s downstairs of the main house. The neighborhood is very green and we always felt very safe. This will be our go to stay if we’re ever in town again.
this is an adorable apartment within blocks of jewish national health were I was getting treatment. The place was clean, warm and welcoming. The owner was kind and helpful. I will definitely book again when I go back! steps away from the park, bus and groceries it worked out perfect!
I had a wonderful stay here. The apartment was cozy secluded with everything I needed to make a two week stay productive. I highly recommend.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
The space was not accurately depicted.This is a suite not an individual dwelling. Other guests or property owner live upstairs.Also, it is on the lower level with one window in the bedroom. It is very dark. Cleanliness was sub-par. Throw rugs in living space and Bedroom need to be replaced. To have a laundry facility is nice but in all other VRBOs, the host leaves at least one laundry pod and dryer sheet. I’d also suggest leaving more than four coffee pods.

I’m very sorry that your stay was not what you expected. We deeply care that our guests have a wonderful experience with us. I am confused, however, that you did not realize it was an apartment of approximately 600 ft.² with a full kitchen as listed in the ad, the contract, and in several other places., And Per Denver law, property owners must live on site somewhere, and we provide adequate soundproofing between units. We also provide a rate that is highly competitive in a location that is right across the street from City Park and within two blocks of grocery stores, bars, and restaurants, Lastly, I would’ve been more than happy to provide you with additional coffee pods and detergent had you let me know you were out.
Such a cute place, perfect for a weekend getaway! Everything was clean and we felt very comfortable. We will stay here again if we ever end up back in Denver :)
