    Very clean and comfortable space, in beautiful neighborhood, walking distance to Chautauqua Park and restaurants on College Ave. Also easy walk to bus stop for the Hop route going into Pearl St. and downtown. The kitchen was thoughtfully equipped with microwave, toaster oven, etc, full size fridge. Very nice temperature control with AC unit and window fans as needed depending on time of day. We loved it and would definitely stay again!

    Hosts were super nice and attentive,The location is unreal, coming from Massachusetts and then seeing the flatirons right outside the apartment door was breathtaking.

    I had an amazing experience with this stay. The hosts went above and beyond to make me feel at home. The location is just perfect, only steps away from the most magical hiking. The beautiful university campus is a 15 minute walk away, and the main street with lots of restaurants, shops etc. is about a 20 minute walk. The apartment itself is even larger than it appears in the photos. It had great light from many windows, the internet was fast enough for an online meeting I had, the kitchen had everything I needed, and there was so much information about Boulder made available in a binder prepared by the hosts. I would 100% recommend!

    Very clean, quiet location down the street from the FlatIrons. Watching the season change during our visit made it all the more enjoyable. The hiking was fantastic. Great food within walking distance. Love the area.

    This apt with private/separate entrance was 2 long blocks from Chautauqua (it's on the Hill). Very quiet neighborhood away from students, parking available around the block (about 200 feet). Owners extremely thoughtful about the space: adequate power outlets, charger cables, tourist booklets, guidebook for area, lots of convenience items like Q-tips, etc. Great wifi, lots of options on streaming TV, very clean, new fixtures, extremely comfortable/firm (memory foam?) bed with different kinds of pillows to choose from, great linens, portable AC unit (it's an upstairs apt that can get warm but AC is good). Brita pitcher in fridge was a plus. Coffee maker with permanent filter was eco-friendly but a slight drag to clean out each morning. Clearly a 'personal' not a 'corporate' kind of vibe, they like to meet the tenant and give some restrictions (no shoes, no parking in front). I was a bit conscious of walking around and making the floors squeak a little in this pretty Victorian though I was mostly out during the day. Total silence in the space, no intrusions, no problems except maybe would have been nice to have some half-n-half in the full-size fridge for my coffee (no stores within easy walking distance) and claw-foot tub/shower was clean and worked well but curtain was a bit awkward and tub a bit tricky if balancing on one foot (overhead handle was good though). Tons of attention to detail that should be applauded.
