Very comfortable and well appointed efficiency, with appliances to make simple meals. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Good size, securely fenced yard for dogs. Didn't make use of outside seating and grill, but would be great in warmer weather. Dedicated parking with unit is nice, although a bit tight/difficult to rurn around, or have to back out onto 8th ave. Good location, walkable to restarants and breweries. A longer walk to the heart of downtown, but doable. Good internet for remote work. Proactive and responsive host. Enjoyed the stay.

Really convenient to Fort Lewis College, just down the hill. 5 minutes to downtown Durango, coffee shop around corner. Very cute a cozy for just the two of us. Very clean. Lots of details for comfort that I thought were unique and well organized —bag of coffee and grinder, sugar/creamer, kitchen scissors (I needed those!), dog bed/bowl/leash, kids bath toys, robes, hair dryer/curling iron, first aid kit, etc. The bed was a soft/uncomfortable for our preference…But, really the location was essential for ur purpose in Durango. The owners were responsive and helped resolve an issue, which I appreciated.

Clean, centrally located yet quiet little casita in walking distance to everything, right across the street from the co-op, and a 5 minute walk to the Horse Gulch trailhead. Amazing Japanese soaking tub! Holly was communicative and welcoming. Would absolutely stay again!

Light and airy, nice kitchen set up, excellent shower. Great location, walkable to downtown, right near a great breakfast place. Busy street, but we were in back, so no road noise. On the downside, the small living space was somewhat cluttered with furniture, leaving no place to put suitcases. Also, the property owners were unresponsive. The first day I complained that the overgrown hedge with prickly branches made it impossible to use the driver side doors with out getting your clothes snagged. I asked the owners to help and over three days got 0 reply. I finally trimmed it myself with the kitchen Shears.

Short review

The studio was fine. My friend had the bed, I had the pull out couch. Super hard to get out but figured it out. Really needed freezer space which wasn't freezing. We had a question about the parking and the host never got back to me. The sink in the bathroom was very uncomfortable to use; too high
