Good lodging

Overall, it is private, easy to find, easy to communicate with the owner, and the kitchen is clean. However, the house is a bit old, so it makes some noise and the air conditioning is noisy.

Warm and cozy

Check in was easy, plenty of parking convenient location. The kitchen was great with seasonings and plenty of dishes. A full length mirror would have been really nice but not the end of the world. I would definitely stay again

Frank’s Flat is a very cute historic house. The charm is evident and the hosts have worked hard to update the inside and make it comfortable. The bathroom, kitchen, and living area are updated. The upstairs bedrooms (1 rm w/ queen bed & 1 rm w/ 2 doubles) were comfy and cozy. I love the hallway between the rooms. I loved hearing the creaks and groans of the old house. The only drawback back was that it seemed to be in a not-great part of town. There were homeless people in the park directly across the street when we arrived, and that evening, they packed up and took their stuff down the street a couple of houses (that seemed to be a halfway house). A lot of the homes and businesses in the area are run-down. Our car was never messed with, nor did we have any issues (except for loud talking/yelling all night). I just wasn’t expecting that atmosphere. For the price of the rental, I think it’s a very good deal.

Everything about our stay was great. We loved the flat. It was very clean and charming inside. The kids really loved the snacks too. Attention to extra hooks, towels etc was a nice touch too. This listing was perfect for our family with a fully packed vacation schedule and was a great deal.

Franks Flat is Fabulous

We thoroughly enjoyed our two nights day in Colorado Springs at Frank’s flat. The multiple bedroom apartment is super spacious and wonderfully decorated. The air conditioning worked perfectly, the showers were great, the refrigerator is huge and the bedrooms were not only spacious, but incredibly comfortable. This made our mini family get together, even more special as everyone was so amazed at how great this place was.

Great Stay

Communication was easy. Check in simple & the rental was spacious & had everything we needed for our 5 day stay. Location was so close to downtown & a 18 min drive to Manitou Springs. It was a great home base while we traveled north & south of Colorado Springs. I highly recommend this space & would definitely stay here again.

Ideal lodging and experience

Our family of 5 stayed here for a couple of days while visiting friends. We loved the area and the house, but are familiar with city life. The house felt so spacious and the bathroom and kitchen were especially wonderful. We really only slept there, but already told our friends to send all of their guests there! We’ll stay there again and again! We didn’t have any issues so no communication with the owner but the detail and thoughtfulness they put into the house makes me think they’d be great to work with! The one thing that would have made it better is to have a bigger bed in the master bedroom, but that is pretty minor to me.

Great place

Cute apartment style with old fashioned feel. Great upgraded look. Clean. Cute character in the decor made it a comfortable place to stay. Top floor gets warm so the addition of a fan was helpful. Close to downtown and the mountains are right around the corner. Great response time from property manager with our questions. That helped make the experience to stay here better.
