We loved the house and the area. Two great coffee shops and the delicatessen within walking distance made the mornings fun. Loved the art and history throughout the house. Kitchen had everything we needed. The aveda shampoo and body wash was a nice touch.
The kitchen is fully stocked, which is very nice. We were staying in the winter, so we did not make use of the outdoor area, but it does look nice. Neighborhood was quiet and felt safe with a nice coffee shop to walk to. The only thing to warn people about is the stairs to the bedrooms. All of the bedrooms are upstairs, and the stairs are a little bit, steep to maneuver for someone who is not fully mobile.
Nice, clean house with a convenient and quiet location near downtown. Transit is nearby as are several great restaurants and coffee shops. The hosts were very accommodating with great communication. It was nice to know that our stay helped the Stiles project in some small way.
The property had everything we needed and was conveniently located to all our planned activities. The kids enjoyed playing with the dominoes and using the claw foot tub.
The accomodations were in an excellent location for walking, restaurants and our family gathering. The beds were comfortable, the historical bits were informative and beautiful. Sitting outside for coffee and breakfast were our favorite moments. Lovely stay.
This place was amazing!! It had everything we were looking for and everything we needed for a long weekend. The kitchen was equipped with all the necessities and the home is centrally located. The view from the front window of the downtown skyline was amazing too!
We had a wonderful weekend trip to Denver. We enjoyed the comfort and location of the home. It’s within walking distance to restaurants and bars, and there’s a Safeway close by. The house has on-site parking, easy access to the train, the kitchen and bathroom offer great amenities and the house is spotless.
It is an older home in the downtown. In good condition. Off street parking was helpful. Nice to have the whole home to ouraelves

Reviewer Comments:
Me and my buddies enjoyed this location. We felt safe and the house overall was clean and a perfect fit for us. Centrally located, you can get anywhere within 5-10 min of the city and quick walks to great breakfast (Rosenberg's Deli and Mimosas) and lunch options (Birdcall).
We loved our stay at this property. It’s a unique opportunity to connect with the museum to which this house belongs. We received a private tour from our host, and enjoyed hearing the history of the area and the specific stories of the people represented at the small museum.
The location was perfect to get to all of the activities of downtown Denver and the surrounding towns.
Our family of five (three generations) was comfortable with the three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The house was immaculate and had good starter paper products and supplies.
One suggestion would be to add a dresser to the queen bedroom, but otherwise, all was provided. A great convenience was the off-street parking for the rental property. Thanks for a great stay!
We enjoyed our stay in 5 Points and really liked the close proximity of the home to the RINO area. There is a guaranteed parking spot which was key to being able to park in the area. The home was clean, but much older than it appears in the listing pictures. If you aren’t able to navigate steep stairs, consider a stay elsewhere. The description on VRBO, indicates the king & queen size beds feature memory foam pillow top mattresses. Neither mattress was memory foam, however, we slept just fine. Portable A/C units in each bedroom & the living room made the home comfortable, even in August. The kitchen was well appointed and we really appreciated the bathroom toiletries, and the laundry & kitchen supplies provided through Vacation Rental Collective. It was a nice touch!
This is an old house but well kept in a nice location
