We came for the Leadville Race and found this house to be very close to downtown, but the children's park across the street was very noisy. The street parking was convenient, but the steps from the street without handrails were a challenge. The house has character, but our expectations were not met due to the following: the refrigerator/freezer was not working when we arrived, and while the Vrbo customer service was great to work with, the host was not. Too much time spent with text messages and phone calls needed to address the issues; the house was not clean, the bed linens were not in the best condition with stains and discoloration; the furniture in the living room was stained and dirty as were rugs and carpeting; the bathroom was dirty with the tile and floor needed cleaning; the appliances in the kitchen were dirty, especially the oven and the freezer should have been maintained. While the host brought us a small refrigerator and ice with styrofoam coolers, the situation could have been avoided. There was a lot of ice build up in the back of the freezer that should have been noticed by the cleaning crew prior to our arrival. No window coverings in kitchen to block the blinding sun rays, nor provide privacy with neighbors so close. Water was warm but not hot. The utility room was cluttered and dirty, and the backyard was not user friendly. The house was spacious, but the lack of maintenance and cleanliness was very disappointing. We would not recommend this property.
