Wonderful, clean, and very convenient location. We had an issue on the second day with hot water in the unit, which took the whole day to resolve, but was eventually taken care of. I would definitely stay here when back in the area again.

Great location! Stocked well, even paper, pens and band-aides, little items that come in handy! Dedicated parking spot was a plus too. We loved the music themed decor, especially since we were there to see a concert at Red Rocks. Thank you!

Perfect, cozy condo. The unit is clean and well appointed, and we felt at home instantly. The host was an excellent communicator. Location was great central to all things we wanted to explore; Boulder, Golden, Denver. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again.

We stayed here for a night after a flight to settle in and adjust to the altitude before driving up to the mountains to ski. It was quiet, comfortable and very clean. Host was very responsive when we had an issue getting in (which I am pretty sure was because we were early for check-in). It was just perfect!

Sweet spot!

We came for a Red Rocks concert but stayed longer for hiking in RMNP. The place worked great for both. And Golden is the sweetest city. Added bonus, the walk to downtown Golden took us past many interesting things (ex the Sherpa House) we would have missed otherwise.

We were surprised by the location being above a business, but it was pristine and quiet. Inside was decorated so cute. My favorite were all the music quotes around the place. It was very comfortable and had all the necessary amenities. Extra Bedding and towels were nicely stored and organized in plastic bins, which made it easy to find. There were grocery stores nearby and not too far from downtown Golden or Red Rocks. We really enjoyed our stay!

Immaculate! It’s like the owner budgeted 200k in furniture, paint, flooring, kitchen, basically everything! Just phenomenal. Only drawback was the instructions for finding the entry to the outside doorway to the elevator. I would add that the poorly marked doorway doorway (basically invisible if your initial arrival is after sunset. My wife and I spent about 45 minutes walking around the building looking for the entry. When I called the Superhost’s phone number, I had to leave a voicemail, and never heard back. Additionally, I emailed the host, from the parking lot, to no avail.Otherwise, the place was absolutely exceptional!

Thank you for your review — we’re so glad you loved our home and its design! We’re truly sorry that you had trouble locating the exterior entry upon arrival. We actually replied to your VRBO message that same evening as soon as we received it, and we also saw through the smart lock app that you had gained access shortly after. We didn’t want to disturb you with a late phone call once we knew you were inside. For future guests, our detailed check-in instructions note that the entrance for the residential units is located to the left of the bank and is labeled accordingly. Following those instructions helps make for a smoother arrival, especially after dark. We really appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again!
