Downtown Private 2 BDRM 1 BTH

loved this apartment and it was very convenient in the downtown area

This stay has officially ended my use of VRBO. The listing advertised a washer and dryer, but failed to mention they’re located upstairs in the host’s private unit—and can only be used during daytime hours. It also claimed to have air-conditioning, but all we got was a fan in the window—that’s not A/C. The stove didn’t work either, so the groceries we bought for cooking went to waste. On top of that, the place was covered in dust and had black mold on the celing in the bathroom. Far from a relaxing getaway. I cannot recommend this property to anyone.

Great location! Really close to downtown and the Sunday farmers market. There is a nice, quiet park within walking distance. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had the basic necessities. It is street parking, but you can usually get a spot right out front. There are no photos of the front of the house so it can be tricky to find at first, but once you know what to look for, it’s easy to access.

The folks above you can hear all of thier steps. The place was clean and close to attractions. Parking was easy.

Wasn’t impressed w this place When we arrived it smelled very heavy of pet covered up w floral carpet powder. Stove doesn’t work you get a tiny two burner electric plug in thing. You can hear the people walking around upstairs. Very loud if they use the washer and dryer. There was bugs in the bathroom, hair on the bathroom shower wall. No ac unit that worked, the host did offer to bring one but we declined, should have already been there functional. We moved the microwave to use the hot plate and there was left over dried up food under the microwave. There is no dresser in the bedroom. There was only one in the living roll but it was chucked full of stuff. We dropped an item on the floor by the couch and when we got down to pick it up we noticed all the trash and junk under the couch. Lamp in the living room doesn’t work no know to turn it on. Can’t turn the ceiling fan on in living room no chain. The door was a pain to lock and unlock, Also don’t mind the dead squirrel in the driveway we had to walk by every day along w the over grown weeds. Overall this wasn’t a great place to stay.

Property was as described. If stayed there again, I would get the top floor as we could definitely hear all the noises from people talking, entering and exiting.Would stay there again.

Nice and conveniently located. There was Wifi and Hulu available. The rental is a bit older but is well maintained. We were in Colorado during a particularly warm weekend and it would have been nice if there was AC, but there were a few fans in closets. It's also worth noting the upstairs tenants can be heard in the rental, but the host told us to message her if the noise became a problem.

Great stay. Thanks!

We didn’t get the 7am check in message with our code, I had to message the host. Listing pictures don’t match what the inside actually looks like. There was a screw sticking out of the bunk bed stairs that my son snagged his pants on. You have to share laundry with the peg legged tenants upstairs, so let’s hope they’re home when you plan to wash your clothes. The smoke detector was dismounted and lying on top of the fridge. There were random ziplock bags with ice in them in the freezer. There was black mold in the bathroom above the shower. The key doesn’t even unlock the deadbolt, lol. The sofa chair was stained and the floors in the main bedroom were dirty with balled up hair and a used fork. We left around 1700 to get food and came back to the gate closed and the Main Street parking spots taken. My husband and I felt extremely unsafe, so I spent 2 hours the first night connecting with a separate Vrbo host who graciously got us into a much better home with similar pricing. Unfortunately, we spent extra money to do this but it was absolutely worth it.I was much more worried about re-locating and protecting my family than I was about messaging the negatively reviewed host, Jessica, who would’ve likely (according to other reviews) fought with me about my concerns and issues.So please, if you plan to stay in Colorado Springs, you can find much better homes that have amenities and are safer for the same price as this outhouse.Thank you!

Over all we would stay there again but preferably in the upstairs house. Was a bit tight for 4 adults but would be fine for 2 or 3. Pros - Price. Easy to find, Close to lots of activities. Comfortable. Owners accommodated early check-in request. Felt safe. Negatives- Need better lighting at door to see the key pad and inside the apartment and in the laundry area (light wasn’t working at all) Ceiling fan doesn’t work. Main bedroom closet was full of storage items so not enough room for hanging clothes. This is a basement apartment so we heard the noise from the upstairs tenants who seem to just be getting started at 9 pm until wee hours of the morning. No welcome package. We found pamphlets, games etc. later, in a junk drawer.

The kitchen had a coffee make, air fryer microwave and toaster oven for cooking. There were 2 hot plates that we didn’t try. The pots to cook in were very limited- 1 small frypan and 2 small saucepans. There were some basic kitchen ingredients like salt, pepper, sugar, flour, coffee etc. beds were very comfortable, plenty of towels provided. Adequate for our stay and most reasonable VRBO around.

Nice Location

It was clean and quiet and had everything we needed for our stay

Poorly maintained. Property overgrown with weeds. Unit was dark unlike photos. Pillows were over used. They had us strip the beds. Laundry was inaccessible.

Simple, great space for easy access to Colorado Springs area.

Description listed AC but the thermostat did not work nor could we ever find where the air came out of. After our adventures in town it would have been nice to come back to a cool place. Smoke alarm is also faulty and kept going off. We eventually just had to take it down and keep the battery out (we did put the battery back in and put it back up before we left). Other than these two things the rest of our stay was nice and we enjoyed the area it was in.

Laundry room is shared with upstairs neighbors and they were cooking so all of our clothes that we washed smelled like what they were cooking... just has a small toaster oven so we had to cook everyones meal individually

Had an awful experience. This “apartment” is nothing like the photos. Absolutely disgusting, run down, and dirty! I had to clean the fridge before putting our food inside. Black mold all over the bathroom ceiling. Toilet barely flushes. Bloody tissue in the bathroom. 3” layer of dust on the fans. Closets filled with junk so there’s nowhere to put any of your stuff. Trash cans smelled like a dead rodent was inside the cabinet. And worst of all, spiders and bugs EVERYWHERE! I killed at least 50 spiders & several other bugs that we saw were coming in through the front door that didn’t seal. My daughter had a panic attack and neither one of us could sleep. I tried doing laundry in a laundry room that looked like a hoarder lived in! It was so gross that I had to book a hotel room and get out of there because we didn’t feel safe! The host did not respond to any messages from me or VRBO support. Do NOT stay here, I wish someone would have warned me before I booked! Absolutely disgusting and the host shouldn’t even be allowed to list this place. It’s a basement run down dump that’s infested with bugs. Also back yard has a disgusting trailer in it that I’m pretty sure someone lives in. Worst VRBO I’ve ever stayed at! I wish I could post more than 8 photos, but these at least show you a little bit of what you’re getting when you rent this place.

The property was great for what we needed it for. It was an inexpensive option for 6 guys and while it was a little tight, it offered enough space for us all to lay our heads down at night. The location is pretty good with it being about a 15-20 minute walk from downtown. Everything was clean and fairly well kept. The owner was very responsive, even early in the morning when there was an issue with being blocked in the driveway by the neighbors. Again, this is probably one of the best inexpensive options if you’re looking for a simple place to use as a home base while you go out and do stuff.There were, however, a few things that could have been improved:- The weeds are very tall on both sides of the driveway and being the house. Would be much nicer if these were cut down. - Parking. While there was enough room for all of our vehicles in the driveway, there is only one way in and out. If the neighbor decides to park in the driveway there is no way out. We found this out at 2am when one of our party had to leave to catch a flight in Denver and could not get out. I think if the weeds were cut down the driveway would be wide enough for two vehicles. - A/C unit. The unit is portable and worked well, but we had to figure out how to set it up. Our party is very technical and was able to figure it out, but for others it may be wise to either have it set up upon arrival or provide instructions on how to set it up. - Fans. Only one box fan and living room fan did not work.

Good location close to downtown,clean apartment and very well stocked,great communication with host.

Great communication from Jess. It wasn’t the Hilton, but it worked well for us. Easy walk to downtown. Would gladly stay there again.

good location and price

It’s was good and perfect location

While the price point was attractive, the overall experience fell short of expectations. Communication with the host could have been more pleasant. An incident involving a closet door that fell off the hinges was met with an unexpected level of accusation. Additionally, the stove did not work, and fear of further confrontation prevented us from seeking host assistance. The promised 7am check-in email was not received, adding to the inconvenience.Unfortunately, this experience contrasts sharply with our previous positive host interactions on VRBO. It's recommended that the host focus on improving guest communication and resolving issues calmly.Furthermore, the lack of consistent hot water due to extended laundry use by other guests was a significant inconvenience. For future travelers, exploring alternative accommodations may be advisable.

The hosts are quick to respond. Their place is quiet cute and conveniently located. I found it easy to find and exactly what i had hoped for

The first night was fine. But the next day they didn’t shovel the long driveway and it was very dangerous to walk to the back of the house to enter. The second night we also had a very loud group above us that stayed up until 6am. We ended up checking out a day early and the owners still haven’t responded to us.

Overall, just okay. You get what you pay for. Unit was in the basement, with loud tenants above, not yelling but very loud footsteps and kids running back and forth through the house, very early in the morning. Communications with host was not great and a large check out list of to dos
