We enjoyed the comfortable stay at Papa’s Place. It was very clean, modern, yet a touch of the historic, and we would highly recommend this place to future travelers.
From the second we parked our Jeep we knew we were in for a great stay. The apartment was so clean and very homey. The building was so unique. I wished all VRBO’s were this nice. Thank you for putting so much thought into making us have such a great stay in your vacation rental. We loved it.
Gaining access to this property was like Amazing Race/Survivor game and incredibly complicated. If we weren’t having so much fun already, this topped off our day. Place was beautiful and we enjoyed our stay. My 17 son did NOT appreciate the fold out bed however. Tough night sleep.
We stayed in Leadville to hike Mt. Elbert and this property was a perfect location for us. The property was exactly as listed and the bed and couch were very comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed.
Super nice little condo, communications was great, easy and understandable. Would definitely recommend.
Very clean, spacious, comfortable and charming unit on ground floor with ample parking, laundry and great streaming channels.
The check in process was very difficult. The lockbox was frozen shut and there wasn’t an overhead light. The condo was nicely located, roomy and comfortable.
This unit is nestled in an old turn-of-the-century building overlooking the historic town of Vail. It was quiet, cozy, clean, and had everything needed for a fantastic weekend getaway: warm electric fireplace, ROKU TV, kitchen with all needed cooking utensils and dinnerware, extra blankies, comfy bed, big fluffy towels, and lots of charm. The building still has much of its old architectural elements like high ceilings, creaky wood floors, beautiful wooden staircases, iron decorative fencing, stained glass entryway, and much more, giving it a quirky old-school connection to the past. We brought our EMF detector to see if any spirits were present. I'm happy to report that all is quiet in this wonderful historic location. Enjoy the mountains and local history in this lovely condo.
Very historic. The property was very well done. One could hear the upstairs room talking and walking around. Very quiet at night. Overall, very acceptable accommodations.
We wanted to climb a couple 14ers while in the area and this location was easily accessible to Mt. Elbert and Mt. Sherman and the downtown historic district. Communication with host was excellent. There was a distinct smell in the room that we couldn't ever figure out, but we didn't mention it. I'm sure if we had, they would have checked on it. Very accomodating hosts!
Unable to open windows so felt stuffy and could possibly be safety issue due to only one exit Could’ve used a fan. Toilet not secured to floor. Noted a cockroach in bathroom. FYI, may want to take photos when you arrive so aren’t falsely accused of damage to property
We stayed for the Leadville 100 MTB race, and the location was perfect! Had a great time. Thanks
We love Leadville for the outdoors and the history, and this condo is historic too - located in what was once the Old St. Vincent's hospital (built 1901), it is a fascinating building. This quaint condo is older but comfie, management is helpful. Property is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of downtown, and grocery store. We have stayed here before, and would do so again.
We had a great time. The fridge was loud is my only comment but everything else was perfect. Such an cute fun place.
