Overall it was great, but it was a dirty place. The bathroom with the tub had hair all over the place when we first arrived. We also found a sock in a couch cushion and under a pillow on the couch, that was not ours! We also didn’t realize we would have people above us, which was fine. However, they woke us up around 1am a couple nights and were usually making noise around 6am.

A quirky little property, close to lots Colorado Springs has to offer, we enjoyed our long weekend stay. The property was clean, the kitchen well equipped, and the host very communicative. Not the fanciest place, but very comfortable and a great price point.

This is a great location within Colorado Springs - very close to CC's beautiful campus as well as downtown - extremely walkable and easy to park at. There were some issues with the listing versus reality (dirty dish towels, expired food out, and plywood over the windows in the second bedroom that weren't in the photos) - but overall, a comfortable place to stay. However, I did choose this in part for the amenity of a washing machine, which the listing said it had, but the washing machine was in a shared basement space and was pay-only, which I don't consider to be the same as the expected in-home (free) washing machine that one assumes when seeing that amenity listed without caveats.

Property was clean and as pictured.Beds were comfortable. Close to restaurants etc and maybe it was just a noisy weekend but could hear a lot of vehicle noise overnight. Had a bit of an issue contacting property manager when the smart lock didn’t work on our last day. Aprox 30 min delay in a response but she did eventually get us back into property and indicated we could have a late check out due to the issue. Things happen though.

This is a great place to stay if you are in town visiting a student at CC or want to be near downtown Colorado Springs for business or pleasure. Easy, level walking to everywhere you could possibly want to go. Plenty of space for your stuff (we were moving a student into college, so we needed space). Easy parking. Plenty of seating for the whole family. Very clean, and host responsive to questions. Excellent value. Recommend!

Clean and well-equipped
We enjoyed our stay here. Everything we needed in the kitchen and bathroom was in place, clean, and plentiful. No dishwasher so be prepared to hand wash. This place is the main floor of a historic home, which has been divided up for rentals on the top floor. The tenants were quiet … no issues at all, but of course you will hear them coming and going. A short walk took us to downtown COS to shops and dining. Parking was always available.

Best Location for Our Quick Stop in CO Springs!
My husband and I and our two friends stayed here for a night on our drive from Texas to Steamboat. It was a perfect location and walking distance to downtown. Check-in was easy, the heater worked great and we were very comfortable during our stay. Will plan to stay again on our next time through town!
