Charming garden level suite with private entrance

I call my home The Nest. This is a prime location near shops, restaurants, DU, Safeway, and light-rail. You have a separate entrance to a fully remodeled basement apartment including 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, living room, work-space, laundry room and kitchenette.

You have your choice between Marriott pillows, My Pillow pillows, and some temper-pedic pillows. (I take my pillows seriously!) There are 14 restaurants of all ethnicities within 400 yards, and a Starbucks only 100 yards away. Welcome to The Nest!

The space
This is a 1950's home that was fully and lovingly renovated just a couple years ago. I live in the upstairs level, and the garden level is all yours with a separate entrance -- even a separate custom-lit walkway from the street.

While I want to be here to greet you as you arrive, if I'm unable to there is a keypad entrance for easy access. The check-in hours are from 3pm to 8pm, but if you are here outside those hours, just contact me and we'll make it happen.

Guest access
You have a separate, private entrance with motion censored lights that light up your path at night. I will not enter your space during your stay here unless there is an emergency or at your invitation.

2 x bedrooms (The first bedroom has a queen bed, closet and dresser, the second bedroom has a queen bed and closet, and in the living room there is even a futon which can turn into a full-size bed (with two super cozy mattress toppers!)

This price is for 2 people but it will fit up to 6! (But that is cozy, I gotta tell you! I do ask for $10 per person extra for each person over the initial 2. Just let me know how many people and I'll give you a custom quote.

The kitchenette has a sink, refrigerator, coffee maker, LOADS of various coffees, creamers and sugars! Microwave, nutri-bullet blender, toaster, crock-pot, hot-water jug, basic dishware, and basic condiments.

NOTE: We do not have a hot plate -- by design -- and ask that you not bring your own.

The bathroom has a shower (no tub). The bathroom is small, but fresh and new and cleaned thoroughly after each guest.

All of these rooms are yours and won't be shared with anyone else.

Interaction with guests
I am in my portion of the house, but am here for you if you want to chat, get advice on the hot spots, where to eat, shop, directions, etc. If you're up for a walk, I'm always up for a walk through the neighborhood -- just ask! Maybe we'll even end up at the Thai restaurant near by!

Other things to note

I do have three cats, and while they have no access to your apartment you may hear them scurrying about early in the morning. Then, of course, they sleep the rest of the day because, well, they're cats. Note about cat allergies: The cats have never been in your apartment suite, but if you have serious allergies this might not be a good fit for you. I'm sure kitty hair can sneak through vents.

I do work from home too, so am in and out all day. You may hear me walking around. But I ain't dancin' with high heels, so it shouldn't be that loud!

There is street parking, but you'll want to park on the east side. The west side you can park from 6pm to 8am and all day Sunday. (The west side of the street is permitted parking for residents. The east side -- across the street -- has no homes so you have plenty of it!)

NOTE: The rates quoted are for two people, although 4 people can comfortably be here. But there is a $10 per night/per person fee over 2 people. Just mention it when you book and we'll work it out. Thanks.

Staying at Polly's VRBO was everything my friend and I needed and more. Polly was so kind and flexible to even let us check out 1.5h later to make travel so much easier for us. We're planning to go back to the exact same place next time we're in Denver!

Comfortable short stay in a beautiful city
My sister and I stayed for 4 days 3 nights. The Writer’s Nest fit our needs perfectly. It was only about 30 minutes from the airport. It was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, spacious and quiet. The beds were very comfortable and we slept so well. With two security doors, we felt very safe. It was also centrally located a 5 minute drive from great shopping (food, clothing, electronics, yoga, etc.) The host, Polly, was also the right blend of attentive to your needs and yet respectful of your privacy and space. Polly is also a bit of a local legend, we discovered, but I’ll let you discover for yourself her awesome feat! I highly recommend this apartment and working with Polly as a host. Three helpful things to note: (1) The unit is down a short flight of stairs so you’ll have to carry any luggage with care, (2) There is a kitchenette, so no stove. But you have a sink, microwave, coffee maker, electric kettle, toaster oven, the works and (3) although the bedroom and living quarters are very spacious, the bathroom is tight. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did!

Great place, great location!
My daughter (20), and I, had a great trip to Denver planned, and we just needed the perfect place to stay! We luckily chose correctly, as my daughter “liked the vibe” of Polly’s place. We were centrally located to all destinations…Red Rocks, Denver Art Museum, and Cherry Creek State Park. Easy to navigate to and from, with plenty of parking. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. A grocery store and many shops within walking distance. As noted, there is no stove, but has a few other cooking options. (Who wants to cook on vacation anyway??) Polly is awesome! She was there to greet us and show us around, and available if we had any questions. All the stars and would definitely recommend!!

I booked this rental six months on advance ands never questioned my instinct that this would be a perfect fit. Polly is an above and beyond hostess! The apartment was comfortable, clean, and accommodated all our possible needs. Location is perfect! My daughter and I very much look forward to staying here again. Already planning!

Quick Trip
We had 4 adults in our group and this space fit our needs. The proximity to all the things we did in Denver was good, quick access to the freeway and some places are close enough to Uber. The checkin policy was easy and Polly was very communicative. Would recommend this space for a quick trip.

Polly Wants a Cracker
Just kidding on the title. Our host, Polly Letofsky, is the ultimate on what a Vrbo host should be. We were very comfortable inside and out. Room temperatures were perfect. Kitchen, living room and bedrooms were a great fit. Washer and dryer very accommodating. We loved sitting outside in Polly's lovely backyard. Very fun, clever graffiti on the fences. We sure hope to come back again soon!

Polly is fantastic!
My family needed a place to stay following an unexpected medical issue. The apartment worked really well for our needs. There was room for all four of us, and the location was close to the hospital and to take-out food options. Most importantly, the host, Polly, went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed and cheerfully put up with deliveries mistakenly going to her door, rather than to ours. Polly accurately describes her apartment, so the rather limited cooking facilities and single bathroom did not come as a surprise. I highly recommend this property.
