Found this house while looking for a home to rent for 4 adults. (rather than hotel rooms) for a 4-5 day stay.
The home is very clean, quite modern in its design and decor; the master bedroom and bath on the upper floor provide a great escape if needed; the main living space on the second floor is open and roomy; Kitchen has great gas stove and large french style fridge; the two bedrooms on the lower entry level floor are served by a very spacious bath/shower as well. Provided washer/dryer should you need it (we didn't but nice to know it's there). Beds are definitely more 'modern style', I think European is the proper style; comfortable queen platform beds, fairly low to the floor, which wasn't necessarily the easiest to get out of; (something to keep in mind if you happen to have any physical limitations); Don't get me wrong, beds are fine for most folks, but just know that they are quite low to the floor when you get in and out of them. Unit served by a tankless hot water heater which provided ample and very hot water on demand! Nice when there are 4 showers to take! We didn't have to use the heated floors since it was a comfortable 72-77 while we were in town and we kept the provided fans on most of the day and nite with windows open to keep it cooler. Don't let the outside appearance fool you, inside is a great home!
As for the amenities, there is a very nice 55" TV mounted on the living room wall, with a bluray DVD player; (yes it will play non bluray dvd's so bring your favorites along!) TV is limited, only local over the air channels (received in HD) but no cable; broadband wireless internet is also provided; while it served its purpose for basic internet tasks (i.e., email, browsing the web, etc) it is not 'high speed', so don't necessarily count on using it for streaming video, etc. (which would be nice since there are otherwise limited tv channels...but, hey, coming from a high tech family it got us by!) Would we have liked a bit more variety on tv? Sure. Was it a deal breaker. No. Besides, you don't go on vacation to watch tv! You go to do things.. which, this house is very nicely located to do! The Woodland Park zoo is all of 10 minutes away, downtown about 15-20 mins depending on traffic, and very convenient to I-5.
Why pay hotel pricing for 2 or more rooms when you can rent a home! 5 stars for value/location/property. 4 stars for tech (family rated tech!) Owner very easy to contact, addressed all concern/needs!
