Private Basement Apartment Near DU and Downtown!

Our newly renovated, 1,250-square-foot basement suite is fully solar-powered by Colorado sunshine! We are located in a quiet Denver neighborhood, just 12 minutes south of downtown and 5 minutes east of DU with immediate access to I-25. With lots of free parking and a private entrance into the suite, your stay will be convenient and relaxing. Enjoy the restaurants, coffee shops, walking trails, or breweries nearby, or unwind surrounded by mountain decor for a true Colorado experience! The space Welcome to your Urban Mountain Lodge - where the rustic charm of the Rockies meets the heart of the city. We have created a space that embodies all we love about Colorado - a little bit mountain and a little bit city. Please note, we do live upstairs with our two young children and you will hear us and the things life with children entails (laughter, crying, toys being dropped, baths being run, early morning footsteps, etc.). While we have never received complaints about the noise, we have provided sound machines in each bedroom, earplugs, and a complimentary bottle of wine to make your stay comfortable. The ceiling between the basement and the upstairs unit is also insulated to reduce noise transfer. We do our best to monitor our volume upstairs but please, expect noise similar to apartment-living. The rental does not include access to the back or front yards since our children play there. Like most old Denver homes, our house does NOT have central air conditioning; however, in the summer months, we install an AC window unit in the basement. Running the fans and opening the windows keeps it cool, as well. The heat is controlled upstairs in the main part of the house. We keep the house at 72 degrees in the winter. We also provide 2 space heaters and extra blankets. For sleeping, you will have access to 2 queen size beds and a pull-out couch as well as all bed linens, extra pillows, duvets and quilts. The living area has a smart TV (with Netflix, Hulu, etc.), a few board games, books, and lounge seating. The kitchenette is stocked with basic cooking supplies and utensils, dishes, a full-size fridge/freezer, coffee pot, microwave, toaster, air fryer, hot plate, and tea kettle. A sponge, dish soap, and dish towels are provided. Our kitchenette is best equipped for small meal prep as the sink is small, bar sized and there are no larger cooking appliances (oven/stove). We provide a starter kit of Keurig coffee, cream, sugar, and tea bags. The bathroom is stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body soap, makeup wipes, hand soap, 2 travel lotions, toilet paper, and tissues. All bath linens are also provided. There is also a laundry room with access to a washer and dryer. Laundry detergent, softener, dryer sheets, and iron are also provided for your use. A pack-and-play is available in the closet of the second bedroom. We also have a HEPA air filter to promote air sanitation. **Please note, as of the 2024 Winter season we have decided to close the wood-burning fireplace indefinitely. As much as we love this amenity, after too many smoke-filled basements we have decided the safety of our family and our guests must come first. The fireplace now serves as a decorative element. Guest access Free street parking is readily available. Our neighborhood is right off I-25 for easy commuting as well as half a mile from the city's RTD Lightrail that runs into downtown. Our neighborhood is also easily accessed by rideshare companies. Other things to note Our space is smoke-free (420 included), both inside and outside the property. This is a family-friendly rental. We are committed to paying our cleaning crew a livable wage. We work with a professional cleaning team that ensures a spotless stay for each guest every time. The fee we charge you is exactly what they charge us with no mark-ups whatsoever. Charging the exact cleaning fee allows us to keep our daily rates lower for you as the guest and allows us to be ethical employers to the wonderful team that makes our Airbnb possible.
