The hosts have a bajillion reviews, but my stay felt like staying with a first-timer host who was still working out the kinks. The space was freezing and there weren't any extra blankets. No WiFi instructions either (not even on the app). We were glad for a place to stay, but be prepared for something a little more chaotic. The other weird thing was a separate website they sent that required extra address and BILLING/CREDIT card details. Really not cool. If I hadn't been last minute, I would have considered staying elsewhere. Actually, perhaps I should double-check my credit card statement. The host was relatively responsive, but it seems to be a third party, not actually someone in or at the house. The bed is nice and the kitchen is clean, and it has the potential to be a more normal stay with some easy changes. Happy travels.

It was a first for me staying at a property that asks for a deposit off site. It is listed in the listing just a first for me. Kaitlyn’s team was super friendly and responsive to any questions i had. As previously mentioned in other reviews the thermostat is not located in the space but upstairs in another unit. However it can be adjusted remotely per Kaitlyn. I do believe both spaces are at the same temperature. The space was super clean and had shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower with Renjoy’s products. The neighborhood was nice and located on a wide street. Only a 5 minute walk to Memorial Park. Street parking only. There are 4 units in close proximity to each other. This is a basement unit in an older home which comes with squeaky floors. There is only one basement window. There is so much to do in Colorado Springs. Great location.

Convenient, clean, spacious. Would stay here again on another trip to Colorado Springs.
Noise from the unit above is noticeable, though, even through ear plugs at night.

Had a great stay! The place was spotless, very spacious, and had everything I needed. The mountain views right outside were beautiful, and the location was perfect only about a 15-minute drive from most of the local attractions. The host was fantastic as well; whenever I had a question, they replied within a minute and were incredibly helpful throughout my stay. I’d happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it to others.
