I loved this property. It was the perfect size for myself and my son, would be ideal as an apartment for 1 person. Loved the spacious kitchen/dining area, enjoyed the TV/sitting area, and there was ample space in the bedroom (with shelves for longer stays). The showerhead was amazing, better than mine at home. I can tell the hosts have put a lot of work into the apartment. And we appreciated the oatmeal, tea, and coffee service they provided. The hosts were very welcoming and responsive. I was able to arrange for a late checkout without issue. My only suggestion would be to replace the mattress or put on a mattress topper, as it wasn't the most comfortable. But I otherwise couldn't have asked for a better space. Very close to GoG and the USAFA with easy highway access to other parts of town. Highly recommended!

Quiet, cozy, clean, and comfortable.
Quiet, cozy, clean, and comfortable. Just what we needed. Hosts were extremely helpful as we dealt with lost luggage from our flight. Unusually comfortable sofa bed. And nice extras like breakfast oatmeal and hot air popcorn popper with seasonings. We plan to book again.
