We are repeat guests so that indicates we are pleased! Great place to stay. We visit yearly to Colorado, and have stayed here a few times. This place was my first Airbnb nightmare after years of using the app. The house has a horrible smell when you walk in. It’s in a busy street with a lot of homeless people walking around. Dirty sheets for the pullout bed. The first thing we did was try and use the toilet and it would not flush or do anything. We contacted the host and received a rude and nasty response from a guy named Dominic who isnt even listed as a host. The kitchen is very small. Floor creeks and is sticky. The only thing that looked decent was the hot tub but did not get to use it. We checked out 3 hours after arriving due to the lack of communication and consideration of the broken toilet. We had to walk to stores to use the bathroom and you have to buy stuff to use the toilet after we already paid to stay somewhere. They then stopped responding to messages after asking for solutions and waiting for them to fix the issue. Thank God Airbnb support stepped in and helped us get a better place. Would never book here Kendall
