OCC recently remodeled apt
This VRBO was very easy to get to. This 2 bedroom apt. has a good size room that includes kitchen, dining table and den that was very handy for all our needs. It seems brand new with modern bathrooms and kitchen appliances. The single car garage was handy. It was in walking distance of Old Colorado City. We plan to use it again when coming to visit family.

Great Vacation
This was my first time using a VRBO when on vacation, and I was very impressed with this property. The property was perfect for my daughter and I while we vacationed in Colorado Springs for a week. The garage was a nice addition to keep my car safe and out of the elements if needed. I know there are some reviews pertaining to issues with the door lock and thermostat, but I had no issues with either during out stay. A few suggestions I would have for the property is curtains in the bedrooms to keep sun light out if you wanted, and a dead bolt on the door. The rest of the property was perfect, and the pictures are very accurate.

Wonderful accommodations!
Very clean and comfortable. Was so happy to find box fans in the closet as the white noise helps me sleep and I could not bring mine since we were flying this trip! The host communicates very well and is very responsive and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again. If I had to recommend anything I would say extra blankets would be nice and maybe a reclining chair in the living room. Everything was great tho!

Beautiful Apartment With Excellent Location
This is a very nice apartment just a few blocks from the Old Colorado City strip. Plenty of restaurant and shopping choices within walking distance, Garden of the Gods and Pike's Peak both a short drive. The apartment itself has 2 good size bedrooms, an updated kitchen and nice views of the mountains. Great place to stay!

A-
Property was easy to book. Other tenants on the property were quiet. Rooms were clean and well kept. Great to have a garage to park in with homeless population within a few blocks. Super close to downtown shops, food shopping and Garden of the Gods. A + location. The only problem we had was the t.v and thermostat. Would like to see basic t.v but made use of Roku streaming with movies. Spare bedroom was hot until we found a vent under the dresser. It was 95 + during our stay. Would be helpful to have instructions for the thermostat. Would book again with convience of location and ease of accessability.

Wedding
My husband and I stayed here for our daughters wedding. We were there for a week. Everything was very nice, clean and organized. I wish we had more than the 2 dish towels provided. I use about 4 in my personal kitchen. That would be my my only criticism. Any questions we had were answered quickly. Highly recommend! Loved that it was so close to the wedding venue at Red Rocks Barn! It was close to restaurants and downtown as well.

Surprise Visit
It’s a nice little place to stay within walking distance of several charming restaurants and shops. The furniture in the family room is shabby and banged up, but the place itself is very clean. They had the vent in the 2nd bedroom closed because there’s a big dresser over it. That did not work out so great during our December visit when outside temperatures were so low. That room was frigid! The thing taking our stay from 4 stars to 3 is someone introducing herself as the owner arriving unannounced and knocking on the door to check in on us midway through our week long stay. We did not appreciate the intrusion.

Review of our stay
We had a terrible time getting the digital door lock to open. It normally syncs to the renters last 4 digits of their pone. That wasn’t working, so I was given a different code via email. Upon arrival, I tried and tried. Finally, I called the Hoste management office. The young women worked with me to try multiple codes. After about a half hour of frustration, she said she would send someone out. But, trying one more “permanent” code, the lock opened. We were afraid to leave in case it wouldn’t work. Thankfully, it did continue to work during our two night stay. I am a pretty tech savvy individual. But, I had further difficulty turning the heat on. It was set to 64 degrees. Again, frustration because it was a thermostat that both my husband had ever seen, with no instructions. There was NO instructions for anything. During the second call to the management company, my husband got instructions on how to use the thermostat. PLUS, he had to ask for the internet credentials. There also were no instructions laying out expectations for departure I.e. stripping beds, towels, garbage etc. Lastly, for the price charged for this unit, for goodness sake, buy some softer toilet paper. It was so thin and nearly useless! I have stayed at a lot of VRBOs and AirBnBs, but rarely post reviews. I felt it necessary this time.

Really a great place with one small issue
Terrific location, just as advertised. Great view of Pike's Peak out the window. Spacious, well-equipped and very clean property. Only issue was that there was virtually no TV available. Didn't really enjoy watching an episode from Alex Trebek's second season on Jeopardy, and not being able to access even network TV channels. To be fair, more tech savvy people who had their own apps to different content providers would have been fine, but there had been no notice of that and we were not able to navigate it, even with quick responses from Hoste. Aside from that, we were extremely pleased with the rental.

Central location, super clean
This 2nd floor condo was super clean and comfortable. Not super modern, but attractive. We loved the great location to walk to the center of Old Colorado City shops, cafes, and Saturday Farmer’s Market. Plus it was just 30 minutes up the mountain to Woodland Park and a bit further to Cripple Creek ir Pikes Peak. Just minutes to Garden of the Gods, downtown, and Glen Ayrie.

Excellent choice for colorado springs
After a slight sna-fu with the code to enter, the stay was excellent. Management was quick to respond for help. Nice to have two full baths for 2 couples. Very comfortable furniture and bed. Ask owners for help with thermostat as we actually had ac too cold on our 95-100 degree days. Very close to Garden of the Gods. We had a noisy group below us but it sounds like I could have called management early am to deal with it.

Perfect Old Colorado hideaway
Loved the property! So close to my parents and Old Colorado was 2 blocks away. I cook a lot so the kitchen was perfect and the kids loved the big windows and bath tub. Beds, super comfortable and lots of storage I never felt like I was tripping over my suitcases. Ready to book again for my trip back home next summer! Thank you for the great customer support while there. I do host as well and one thing I though would be a nice touch to visitors would be a map of Old Colorado, Manitou and some info about Garden if the Gods and Cheyenne Mt/ Broadmore area. There are so many great restaurants, to go brochures would be great for people to order in while staying. Thank you again.
