Functional
Stayed for two nights and served our purposes. Furniture was not as pictured—futon shown would’ve been great for an adult. Couch there is best for under 5’ and bunk beds seemed short. Also you are in the basement of a house so you can hear footsteps.

Perfect for what we wanted
We loved our stay. The property was exactly as described and what we expected after reading the description and reviews. It has a wonderful location for nearby attractions. Communication with the owner was easy and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again; we had a wonderful time.

Khan Family Vacation
We took a last minute vacation and this cozy apartment was available so we booked it because it was close to everything. It’s a very cozy space and felt warm and homey. Would recommend this for sure!

family visit
good place in the basement, close to downtown and very near to our family. Only challenge--the entrance was hard to find at first in the dark. Once inside the rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The shower worked and we had a great stay.

Good stay
It is a small little apartment price is reasonable for the area. The communication with the contact was almost non existent but the place was good for what we needed after all you're on vacation to see the nearby area ot stay in a fancy place. Parking is a bit of a hassle as well.

Great home-base
The location of the property was awesome! We were able to get to many places quickly & there were lots of places nearby to explore. I appreciated that the area was walkable & easy to get to.

Convenient Location
This property is located close to downtown shopping area and easy drive to Pikes Peek and Garden of the Gods. The apartment could use a good cleaning. When we arrived, there were no smoke detectors installed, but I found one sitting on top of the refrigerator and I had to install it onto the base on the ceiling in our bedroom. This could be such a great place to stay with a little effort to clean it better and get some updated furniture. The furniture is not what is shown in the photos.

Do not book.
The property does not look like the photos. It has different furniture than the photos. The living room couch had animal hair on it and crumbs everywhere, stains, and smelt. The bathroom has mildew all around the bathtub. There was a missing electrical outlet cover in the master. There was dust and dirt everywhere. So if you have any type of allergies definitely don’t even walk into this place. We ended up leaving after being there for 10 min because my allergies were so bad and the property owners refused to refund us any of our money except for the cleaning fee due to our issues being that the place was dirty. Seeing how we didn’t stay a single night there or even an hour we expected at least a partial refund due to the lack of communication about the property being dusty and different than the photos indicated.

Not the worst but not the best
Not like some of the photos. The TV never worked and no real effort to fix. The garage disposal smelled. We tried to avoid using that sink. The bunk bed made noise with every little movement. Broken blinds.

Met our needs
It was an inexpensive place to lay our heads for a quick trip to the springs. Pretty much as described, it is a basement apartment of an old home. Within walking distance of downtown. Just a few cons, the bunk bed is extremely squeeky, there were no smoke/carbon monoxide monitors and the bath tub moulding needs to be cleaned/replaced.

The little things
First, I wasn’t expecting much at under 70 a night, but I did expect the place to be clean. There is dust and cobwebs covering the walls- the first evening we were there and turned on the ceiling fan and we all had dust rain down on us. If this place got a through cleaning, the toilet seat fixed, lubricate the springs on the bunk beds, and the dishes were clean when you arrive it would be so much better! The host was very gracious in allowing the use of the washer and dryer and bringing ant traps when requested.

Adequate but could easily be more!
This property was a great price so we knew that's a trade off. It was clean and well located. Some of tge negatives are clearly listed in tge description, so no surprises there. The kitchen is adequate but very minimally appointed/stocked. The furnishings do not match the pictures (we needed the futon for one guest, but it was replaced with a sofa, bedding is different, etc). The property has potential but needs a little TLC...simple things like brighter light bulbs and replacing broken socket covers would do a little. In the end, all minor things but they make a difference. Our biggest "complaint" would be that the bunk bed was very wobbly and creaked loudly with any movement...as in woke everyone up anytime someone moved. Overall, we were looking for an inexpensive option. You get what you pay for...we didn't feel taken advantage of.

Nice stay
Nice stay, however, could use blinds on the living room windows, and much brighter light bulbs in the living areas, bedrooms, and kitchen. The place was a bit dark, and not well-lit. 2nd bed was a bit squeakey

It's operational but could be more functional
The property has a lot of potential in terms of "charm" and to offer and could be a super host if paying attention to details and comfort to it guests. Example: no stains on comforters, pillows, towels... Remove the none operational stove and put baker island with counter top stove, plastic containers, mixing bowls... I would rather pay more and not have to buy dish soap, toilet paper etc.

Old Property
We had to leave the property 3 days early, we had rented property a week in total. The property doesn’t look or shine as much as they did online. The house’s AC and ventilation, isn’t the best. Due to that and the amount of dust we got allergies, resulting in us leaving early.

Great Landing Spot
My family of 4 stayed here while on vacation. It was a great landing spot for us while vacationing in Colorado Springs. We were close to all the attractions we wanted to check out. We were also able to take a 10 minute walk and go shopping downtown. The basement apartment stayed nice and cool even though temps were 90 or higher each day.

Good getaway home
We had a wonderful stay, the house was clean and tidy. The only downside is the upstairs neighbors are noisy and you can hear them walking across the floors. Overall we had a good experience and had no major issues with the stay or the house

Loud, cobwebs and spiders…need I say more!
I wanted to stay in a place where I could get some work done during the day and go downtown in the evening. Well, they have good internet… but this apt. is in the basement and whoever lives upstairs sounds like a heard of elephants. Plus, the utility closet is right by the kitchen table. So every time someone runs water, you here the whooshing noise running down the pipes. I think the toilet had a leak so there’s another random noise… There were cobwebs along the ceiling, I saw a bug crawling on the kitchen counter, and the excessive use of Febreeze gave me a headache. Needless to say, I walked in, tried to work, and then walked out. If you stay here, know that you have to park on a busy street and there is a homeless camp nearby (along the creek). Lock your doors.

Appropriate stay
We were flying in from all over the US and wanted a fair priced place to stay with a kitchen set up and room for up to four individuals. This place had all that. We had most of our cooking needs met, but had to supply some of our needs while we were there. Neighborhood is within a several block walking distance to downtown. A bit further to good eating places, but for fast food places it is close. We had a rental car and so was able to get to most of the sightseeing attractions. We saved on lodging and food, but spent more on rental car and attraction tickets. Will look into renting again when back. Maybe at another different VRBO rental.

Great Location Near Downtown Colorado Springs
The location was outstanding! The apartment nice; however, the stove and oven weren't functional. The listing should indicate that there is a hot plate and microwave only if the owner has no intention of replacing or repairing the appliance. Also the washer and dryer are not in the apartment so it's a bit inconvenient to have to leave the apartment to do laundry....kinda like going to the laundromat without having to have lots of change.

One of the best experiences I've had on here
The property owners were quick to respond to any of my inquiries including my frantic texts at 5:30 am on Christmas Eve when a random water leak occurred. She arrived quickly with a shopvac and promised me it would be taken care of and would not happen again (it did not) they were also very patient and accommodating when it came to booking. There was FREE LAUNDRY (yay!) and all the cleaning products I needed were provided which was amazing since I had kids with me. There is another property upstairs that they rent out and I know the people staying above us had kids with them too but there was no excessive noise. Would definitely stay again, I would've booked longer but they weren't available.

Wedding and family getaway
The apartment is basic and suited our needs. I was disappointed to find there was no air conditioning which was not mentioned in the listing. It was 96 degrees the day we arrived and even though it's a basement apartment and partly underground, it was really warm inside. There were several fans which helped. There is no hair dryer and no iron. Other reviews mentioned a lot of bugs but we did not notice many other than a few on the outside stairs. It was very nice to have the laundry facilities.

Perfect place for exploring colorado springs!
Summer was an amazing host! we had some trouble unlocking the door and summer was quick to answer the phone and answer questions. The apartment was private and comfortable. It is in the basement so there was a significant number of bugs, so beware if you’re squirmish! The location was perfect. There was ample parking and all of the hikes and attractions we wanted to visit were within a 20 minute drive. I loved staying here and recommend it to anyone!
