This rental is a great place to stay if visiting Boulder. It is fully equipped for if you stay in, and a great location for going out. It is walking distance to a lot of things Boulder has to offer, but far enough from the university that it isn't in a busy part of town.

Perfect location and just what I needed for a long stay to meet my new grandson! This sweet little cottage had every necessity. Lots of clothes hangers, drawers, etc., big and bright bathroom, and very convenient parking. Brad was extremely responsive and answered all my questions promptly. I’ll definitely be back!

This was a great place to stay for graduation weekend. It was within walking distance of Pearl Street and there were many other restaurants not too far away. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of closet space. We liked that there were several big mirrors to use to get ready. The bathroom was a nice size with plenty of towels and wash cloths, but no shampoo or conditioner (which was fine for us because we had our own.) We would definitely stay here again.

Overall, a very nice place to stay. The location was great and we had everything we needed.I left four stars overall because the smoke detector kept going off in the beginning and we had trouble contacting the host because of the Vrbo app. Communication seem to be glitching.

Hello Janice, Three of the nine windows in the unit are operable. The remaining six windows are not operable by design. I know of a few more expensive accommodations where all of the windows are operable and would be happy to recommend them for your next visit. Our unit is beautiful and among the top values in The City of Boulder. Thank you.

Convenient, Clean and Comfy

Thanks, Brad, we found this clean, comfortable unit perfect for our long weekend in Boulder. We enjoyed hiking and biking during the day, walking Pearl Street in the evening and a comfy king bed to come home to! Our only recommendation would be a floor or wall lamp by the sofa for reading.

Excellent location

We rented the apartment from Brad for 10 days in may, visiting our daughter and son in law. The place was excellent, and the location the best you can get. Description from Brad, and pictures, are accurate for the place. It is close to everything in Boulder. I would recommend this to my friends, without a second thought. thanks Brad for excellent hospitality. Larus and Gudlaug from Iceland.

Feel like a local in this cozy convenient apartment

I stayed here for 4 nights in July and it was fantastic! The unit is one of 3 in an adorable single-level multi-family home located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of Pearl Street Mall. The other units appear to have permanent renters. There is a parking spot immediately in front of the unit. Inside, the bathroom is huge and has a sunken tub with great water pressure and in-unit laundry. The bedroom has a nice king size bed that is very comfortable. They also had a hairdryer which I really appreciated. The full kitchen is stocked with cups, plates, etc. We arrived to fresh flowers and a nice note explaining the property. The property owner was always available and extremely accommodating after a reservation flub on my part. You can't beat the location at this price- it's convenient to everything and near some of the best restaurants and bars Boulder has to offer. We loved how cozy and at home we felt here. We hope to go back again!

Excellent location. Only a few blocks from the Pearl Street Mall and many other interesting places to visit. A central location for our various trips to the mountains (Nederland, Red Rocks, the national park, etc.). We had the driveway to ourselves, but there was also plenty of parking on the street. The place was clean and spacious. Brad, the owner, was quick to respond to the only question I had. I would stay again if I ever get back to Boulder.

The location is very convenient, as advertised. Check-in was extremely easy, and the host was very responsive with communication. The apartment itself was comfortable and clean, with all the basic amenities. It was just a little too shabby/funky to earn 5 stars, though some might call that charm. Woodwork finishes are overdue for attention, for instance, and the bathroom door didn’t close easily. Furniture is basic, and the bedroom ceiling is kind of low. Comfy but not special. Would rent it again, depending on what else is available at the time.

Great location and value

The location can't be beat for the price. I would have given 5 stars but 1. The wifi was terrible so DO NOT count on it if you have work to do. 2. Renters can't help that there is construction 3 feet from the bedroom window but they could forewarn you and let you decide. There was banging all day long. 3. Clean is relative I guess. The top of the fridge hasn't seen a cleaning in a long time. The house smells a little musty so bring air freshener. I would 100% recommend this place, even with the few minor issues.

Convenient location just off Pearl Street

Worked well for us while we were in Boulder for granddaughters’ graduation. Appreciated the good lighting in the house, the excellent TV (NBA playoff time!), driveway parking, ample drawers, hangars, cupboards for our belongings. Kitchen is minimal but is equipped with good quality small appliances and all kitchen basics. With family staying elsewhere and so many great restaurants on Pearl Street and environs, we didn’t use the kitchen much at all.

Awesome little hidden bungalow

We loved having this place as our home base for a Christmas week visit to Boulder. Highlights were the cute little gas-fired ‘woodstove’, very nice bed, and washer/dryer! Hopefully they’ll fix the WiFi soon, but that was our only disappointment, and Brad kindly gave us a little refund to make up for the issue. We’d also like to give a shout-out to Sandra, the property concierge. She is simply outstanding! John & Mallory
