Great Location
This unit is located in the heart of downtown just steps from many restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, etc. Wake to the sound of the steam train (around 8:30). When we reserved the unit we had a party of seven however three people had to cancel which left two adults and two kids sharing this unit. We had plenty of space for four though I think seven would have been a bit cramped. The unit is definitely great for families. There are bunk beads, games, paper for drawing, puzzles…. I also noticed a crib in the primary closet. The beds were very comfortable and we had no trouble sleeping in. Although the unit was superficially clean (linens and surfaces were fine) it really needs a deep cleaning. The unit is dated, probably from the 90s, and the carpets are dirty as well as the tile. I would not feel comfortable walking around barefoot and always wore socks or shoes until I entered the bed at night. The kitchen dishes also did not feel clean. We found several dishes and utensils that had put away clearly soiled. We washed every dish before use. Overall this was a positive experience and I would consider staying again though the kitchen is in need of a deep cleaning especially considering the nightly rate.

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 19, 2023
Thanks for your feedback. We perform deep cleans after both the summer and winter seasons. We have never understood why guests put dishes away without being clean (they certainly do not do this in their own home). It does not happen often, as you can see by the subsequent reviews that the condo and the kitchen was very clean, but occasionally it does.

We encountered only one problem during this stay. It related to a faulty security code or security hardware. The property manager was very diligent in response. However, we were inconvenienced for a couple days until a solution was provided.

Location was great, However…
We never got to enjoy this property. Upon out arrival we immediately had to call the property management because the heater wasn’t working. After initially offering my family another unit in the same building, they chose to not honor that and move us across town to another property. I wasn’t happy but 7 days with no heater wasn’t an alternative. What upset me most was that they wanted to bring in space heaters without consulting us. Very unprofessional for such an upscale property.

Response from VrboOwner on Jan 27, 2022
Hi Shaw, we do apologize that there was an issue with the heater upon your arrival and we refunded you a night for the inconvenience of needing to move you to a different downtown condo. We thought that bringing space heaters would be a nice thing to do and did not mean to upset you by offering to bring you heaters since the heater was out. We hope you enjoyed your stay in the downtown Mears condo.

Our stay was perfect. Super clean and a great location to all the shops & restaurants. The coffee maker broke and they promptly got us a new one! The only “downside” was the garage code system was tricky and wasn’t always easy to punch in. Other than that was stay was flawless. Thanks!

Perfect cozy getaway
We were thoroughly impressed with this clean, cozy condo and highly recommend it. It's the perfect location, too - right near Main St. but just enough off the beaten path. So, it's also quiet and comfortable. We had an issue with the air conditioning that was fixed promptly the next morning (the AC was fine; but we didn't have directions on how to set it). Also, be sure to take the combos for all the key pads with you (garage, elevator, front door to building, front door to apt.) - they're easy to use but they vary. Great place and kind neighbors with super cute pooches!

Thank you for leaving a review! Your feedback is important to us. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay :) I do apologize you found the cleanliness to be less than ideal. That is not consistent with our normal standards and we will be addressing it with our housekeeping team. We do perform deep cleans every off season, so this will not be an issue as we move into the fall and winter season. Other than that, it was a pleasure to host you and we hope you stay with us again soon!

Great location
This unit is in a great spot to walk all over downtown Durango. It takes time to get in and out of your unit and requires several codes. It does however feel very safe for this reason. The balcony is very small and seats 2 people max. We weren’t impressed overall with the balcony or view, but the pictures show the view so you know that ahead of time. The unit is best used for people who are going to be spending most of their time out and about exploring. The kitchen is a good size and is well stocked. The carpet was stained in the kitchen and wet for the first few days from the cleaning crew trying to remove it. We notified the management company to let them know and they were great. They also checked in during the stay to make sure there wasn’t anything else they could do to make our stay better. Clean overall, great management, great location.

Great Location, Wonderful Accommodations!
This is a wonderful vacation rental in Durango. We enjoyed our stay. I wish we could have stayed longer. Good communication with check out except we could not find laundry detergent when it came time to wash the towels before we left. Hopefully its a preloaded wash machine. TV remote in main living room gave us a few issues and carpets in main living area need cleaning soon. This isn't a negative review by no means, just a few suggestions that need some attention for future guests.

Great location- clean- roomie- quiet- full stocked kitchen, inside parking , fireplace but...
This property worked well for us but has a couple issues that I think can be worked out fairly easily by the owner/property management! -The heating is an issue- the upstairs always seems too warm and the downstairs too cool... we could only find one thermostat (upstairs) to control both- honestly I have never ever seen central heat in Colorado- so that was tough but also we tried to work with that thermostat but could not make it change and stay. Wish there had been directions on how to make it work. -One snowy day we just wanted to veg out and watch TV- sometimes we could figure it out and other times it wouldn't work... we never figured out if it had netflix's or other options.- here again we wish there had been directions for it (we only used the tv in the living room so I am only talking about that one) - We had a toilet issue upstair, we got it working but when cleaning up there were no real cleaners in the apartment- they should have some cleaners for these kind of things! -My kids came for Thanksgiving and used the bunkbeds (this was a huge plus for us) but one night they were cold and we couldn't find any extra blankets- I have never stayed somewhere without extra blankets! Like I said all these are easy correctable by the management company.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback. We do apologize you encountered these issues during your stay. Please always feel free to call us and we are happy to do what we can to make your stay as enjoyable as possible - we would have been happy to provide more blankets or let you know where you could find more as well as help you operate the television. For the temperature, you can always turn it up and just crack a window upstairs if you find it getting too warm. I will make sure there are plenty of blankets available in the condo as we have not heard from any other guests regarding lack of blankets. It was a pleasure to host you and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay in this condo and in the Durango area. We hope to host you again in the future!

Walkable Durango
Four of us (2 couples) spent four nights at this lovely condo which is within walking distance of the train depot and main street which offers plenty of eating options. Management replied quickly with tissue and a hair dryer when we found this absent. All the codes for entry were a little confusing at first but we caught on to the system. Only problem was the street entrance would not open on our last day which meant a walk around to the garage to gain entrance to the building. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend renting this condo.

The property was very clean and had very easy access to downtown restaurants and shops. The main complaint was that nobody informed us ahead of time the outside of the complex was being painted. There was scaffolding outside of the windows which obstructed any view there may have been. Also, the painting process began at 6am every morning of our stay which made sleeping in difficult and made the condo not private. We ate breakfast with workers watching. Also, due to the location it was noisy at night due to nearby bars & restaurants. Beautiful condo inside, however disappointing to pay so much for little privacy.
Response from VrboOwner on Mar 31, 2020
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent stay with Durango Premier Vacation Rentals! We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed our condo's location which provides easy access to downtown. Being walking distance to shops and one-of-a-kind dining experiences is one of the many reasons why this unit is consistently one of the most popular units in our portfolio. We are equally delighted to hear that the property's cleanliness exceeded your expectations. While all of our units are professionally cleaned in advanced of each guest stay, we always appreciate the positive feedback. Fortunately, the building exterior painting project was completed in August 2019. We regret that the project was taking place during your stay; however, since these types of projects only occur once every 10 years, future guest will have much different experience. Thank you again for your feedback. We look forward to hosting you again in the future!
