Historic Apartment - Walk to CSU Campus + Old Town

Great place

Our stay in Fort Collins was perfect! Loved that this rental was close to campus and Old Town. We spent one day at Horsetooth Reservoir and it was also only a short drive. The apartment gave our family of four (two teenage daughters) enough space and we enjoyed the backyard and fire pit area in the evening.

I was excited to book this November for our Christmas visit to Colorado. When we arrived, I said to my husband that it was much smaller than I remembered. After a 15 hour road trip, we were just glad to have a place set our bags down. Very disappointing to see these photos again of what I thought we would have for our Christmas gathering, but not! We had the smaller upstairs unit with half the kitchen. VRBO and the owner need to straighten this out. It seems very much a bait and switch. So sad to pay for it and not get what I thought we would!

The 3 rating is primarily due to the misrepresentation of the listing. This required us to change our plans considerably. We expected a larger living space as my daughter and I intended to cook and entertain a few guest. The listing showed a table setting for 6 and larger living area . Instead we received an upstairs apartment with seating for 2 and outdoor wicker table for the kitchen. A Kitchent stove vs a full range , not suitable for cooking full course meals. Hence we ate out more than intended . The seating was very uncountable even for 2 at night. The heating was arrange from another unit. That being said .. it was doable and for a stay if you intend not to spend time there it would have been amiable. It’s an older unit, if you get Unit A it is not what you see in the photos at all. The photos appear to be Unit B The host was very kind and very responsive to our email and the housekeeper was very sweet and very thorough. The place was spotless . So if your looking for a small clean unit walking distances to town. This is your space . More suitable for a younger person.

Clean and convenient! In town for CSU graduation and this was within walking distance to everything! Thank you!

We had a great stay during our trip for CSU orientation. Loved being close to old town and the university, enabling us to walk everywhere. The unit was perfect for our needs.

The property overall was good, knowing that it is an older home split into two apartments. However, the bathroom photos on the listing are wrong! They show a completely renovated bathroom with shower. The actual bathroom has only a clawfoot tub with a shower curtain that does not close all the way. It was fine for my husband and I, but my elderly parents, who were supposed to come with us but ended up not coming at the last minute, would not have been able to use the tub/shower at all due to having to climb in and out. I never would have booked the apartment if the photos had been correct. I booked the rental five months ahead and the photos were wrong then so they have had plenty of time to correct but have NOT as of Oct. 15, 2024. I'm not seeing other reviews saying the same thing.The only other thing I would point out is that sound definitely travels when the downstairs unit is in use. I could hear someone snoring during the night...through the floor! So be aware if you're a light sleeper or bring a noise machine.

Awesome stay! Very clean and very cozy.

Enjoyed our stay. A note of caution to those who do not like dogs…the downstairs apartment occupants had a dog that barked every time we went up or down the stairs. Assuming that the dog was home alone and being protective? It was in a very convenient location.

Cute apartment in a stellar location, just blocks to campus and old town. Kitchen was fully stocked and there were plenty of towels and soap. I also appreciate that there were cleaning supplies and access to a vacuum to cleanup small messes. Really had everything we needed for a weekend trip. Sharing the backyard was a bit rough due to the other tenants in the downstairs unit who left loads of dog poop everywhere so the yard was completely unusable, but this wasn’t the owner’s fault. Also a couple maintenance things in the unit that need to be addressed, bedroom door hinge was broken so the door does not close, ceiling fan knocked a bit while rotating, but otherwise this is a great little place!
