Very nice clean place to stay. We walked all over the neighborhood and to Coors Field. There were always many people and dogs out and about. We would stay again.
Fantastic rental experience overall. Studio was just as described and spotless, with a gorgeous backyard. Safe, quiet neighborhood as well. Had great communication from the owner as well. Would be happy to rent again. Thanks!
Loved the place - it was perfect for my 4 day stay in Denver. Close to grocery store, restaurants & bars, but quiet. Great yard, too! Will definitely return.
Great property! Perfectly located to get into downtown Denver quickly. The property had everything we needed, comfortable sleeping and some amazing outdoor space. Would highly recommend!!!
We had stayed here a few years ago and had a good experience so when we were coming back to Denver, we quickly agreed that we wanted to stay here again. Thankfully the dates were available. Once again, it was a wonderful stay. Centrally located, ample parking for our rental, quick-to-reply host, etc. We travel a lot and this is definitely one of our top VRBO stays.
Lovely colorful and art filled art studio. Clean and well maintained and supplied. Great LoHi location on a lovely street. Friendly, communicative and accommodating host.
The Art Studio was just as advertised and very clean. The bed slept great. It was nice to have our own private space to hangout outside by the fire pit or sit on the porch swing. Check in/out was a breeze. Will definitely consider booking again the next time we’re in the area.
The studio is adorable, equipped everything, and the location is awesome. The backyard is beautiful, and is perfect if you are traveling with your pup. The bed was very comfortable. There is plenty of parking and the street is quiet. We were there for nine days and enjoyed our stay very much. We already planning to book it again soon.
Absolutely gorgeous carriage house/studio! Very comfortable and nice. The property is stunning. The hostess was kind and welcoming and very nice to work with. The location is wonderful and within quick walking distance or Uber ride of just about anything you’d want. 10/10 would recommend and would revisit!
Artist's studio was PERFECT! Everything you need in the kitchen, comfortable couch and bed. The studio has fantastic natural light. Loved the serenity of the beautiful backyard and garden. To echo previous reviews, can't beat the location and neighborhood. Full grocery store right around the corner. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will be back as soon as I can!
This property was the perfect place, and I have nothing negative to say about it. Perfect cozy space inside, and a backyard of our dreams that was the best chilling spot. Tonia came over to show us how to use the gas fire pit and asked me through the app if we needed anything at all. Wonderful host, and I would definitely stay here again (longer next time!!)
We stayed here while we were visiting Denver for a concert, and we brought our dog along. Coming from a high-plains desert, we don't have any grass; this backyard was our pup's first time running around in grass without a tether on! She loved it so much, and it made us so happy to see her happy.
The carriage house was well-kept, and I felt that we were safe, even while being centrally located in town! There's lots of cafes and restaurants to visit within walking distance, and the abundance of trees along the walk keep you cool even when it's warm outside.
We spent most of our time away, but the time that we spent at the VRBO was very pleasant. Thank you for a great place to stay, it really made our trip!
This is perhaps the first VRBO I've stayed in, in which the actual space and property and communication with the owner exceeded my expectations.
Tonia has created an artistic haven with all the ammenities. Despite being in the middle of a snow storm, the space was well heated and cozy. I look forward to coming in the spring to see the beautiful backyard. Tonia was available to help me with a few things: an extension cord, TV set up. She is entirely comfortable to be around. I highly recommend this artistic oasis.
We had a great stay! I rate my stays based on three things. 1. Good for pets. 2. Location. 3. Cleanliness. This place is 5 stars for all. This is such a unique place and we feel lucky to have found it. The owner is awesome and super attentive. The yard is perfect for dogs and it is a great place to walk them. It has nice landscaping so not a great place for unattended dogs, but for me it was the perfect place. The neighborhood is really neat with a ton of entertainment and dining nearby. This is a great place if you are going to a game at any of the near by sporting venues. Ball arena is like 5 mins away. I would absolutely stay here again.
We mainly booked and enjoyed our stay because it was quite, good hot tube, space for our dog to roam around, interesting things to looks at and cozy fireplace to enjoy. All in all we came back refreshed, host even offered longer stay but we had to get back and clean house after the power outages, otherwise we would have stayed longer :)
We really loved everything about Tonia’s place. The location, her amazing art, the space and the dreamy outdoor space. She was a wonderful host and I’m so grateful her place was so accommodating for our two dogs.
We had a great stay at Tonia's! The Steampunk studio was in a great location and well stocked. Walking distance from many restaurants and stores. Tonia was very communicative and accommodating of anything we needed.
