Great stay and accurate description
My daughter, my mom and I went stayed here for a softball tournament. Great location for the fields that we played at. The description of the property is very accurate. Lessley was very responsive if anything was needed. Plenty of street parking as well.

Great spot in nice neighborhood
My wife and I enjoyed our three day stay in the Whimsical Basement Wonderland during a spell of very hot (90) weather. The apartment was cool and comfortable, spacious and well furnished. We had no trouble sleeping - it was nice and quiet; we hardly ever heard anyone above on the ground level. Good shower, great water pressure. We'd definitely like to stay again next time we visit Denver!

Great location and cozy space
Lessley was an incredibly responsive host, and the space felt wonderfully cozy. I especially appreciated the convenient location, which made it easy to explore local restaurants, shops, and green spaces. The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked, and the hot water for the shower was a real plus.As noted in the listing and by some previous guests, there was some noticeable noise from the upstairs apartment and laundry area. As a solo traveler, I personally find it challenging to sleep with earplugs, even though they were kindly provided. While this was a minor adjustment for me, it's something I'd plan for next time. I would stay here again, and I'd likely bring a white noise machine to help with the sound.

short stay in Denver
This property was close to our family and city park. The host lived in the house above and started their day at 5:30 AM. The host responded immediately to any issues.
